After I’m Gone Backup Solution (lemmy.world)

Recently I have decided that the backup solution I have been using is far too complex for my family to figure out when I die. I began writing documentation on how they can access photos, videos, documents and so on. In that process I thought, I gotta make this simple.

I’m thinking of just having two 10TB drives in RAID 1 on my desktop that get backed up to Backblaze via restic. Backblaze and similar cloud storage providers can send you a copy of your data for recovery. I think I can sufficiently document this process.

Has anyone else come up with a similar process?

I want the opposite. I want all of my data to be completely inaccessible to anyone, and potentially even self-destruct somehow.

I'm sure that really depends on the data.

If we're talking about stuff like family photos, then having it retrievable feels pretty reasonable to me.

[–] DLSantini@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sure, if you have family photos. Or a family that you want to have access to anything of yours. I do not. And I very specifically want to do everything in my power to prevent my so-called family from gaining access to anything of mine, digital or physical.

I'm sorry you have such a shit family bro :/

[–] shadowbert@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

There's that as well. Point is, it really depends on the data.

To be honest, I don't care. After all, why? I'll be dead, I won't care. You can leak it all then. Just make sure I am actually dead.
