    • 3-way zfs mirror for important data like photos, documents
    • snapraid for bulky and less important data like movies
    • hourly backup of important data and a subset of the less important data (difficult to find movies) to a rpi with a big disk
    • daily backup of the same data to a friend. We have a system where we put a hdd in each other’s server and have ssh access

    Backups are done using restic
