Anything important I keep in my Dropbox folder, so then I have a copy on my desktop, laptop, and in the cloud.

When I turn off my desktop, I use restic to backup my Dropbox folder to a local external hard drive, and then restic runs again to back up to Wasabi which is a storage service like amazon’s S3.

Same exact process for when I turn off my laptop… except sometimes I don’t have my laptop external hd plugged in so that gets skipped.

So that’s three local copies, two local backups, and two remote backup storage locations. Not bad.

Changes I might make:

• add another remote location
• rotate local physical backup device somewhere (that seems like a lot of work)
• move to next cloud or seafile instead of Dropbox

I used seafile for a long time but I couldn’t keep it up so I switched to Dropbox.

Advice, thoughts welcome.

This is just one of the weirder comments I’ve read, like what did I just read here. Lol

Nah, still a great solution if you like. That was my solution for years until just about a month ago I switched to bitwarden because it seemed easier to protect with a yubikey. I’ve liked it so far.

I took the opportunity to export all my passwords from Firefox, chrome, and KeePass, then spent about a day cleaning the whole mess up and removing duplicates, THEN imported the csv into bitwarden. Still getting used to not using chrome/Firefox for auto filling and storing passwords, but I like that my passwords don’t feel so spread out across multiple browsers/dbs.

I’ve used runbox for I don’t know how many years now. They do support a catch-all, as I make up email addresses on the fly with my domain and it works just fine.
