Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

I put encrypted backups (borg or restic) on a storage box from Hetzner. One local copy on a different drive and one remote. Keep your encryption passwords safe though, otherwise they aren't worth much.
Oh, and I plan to report status of the cron jobs that run these backup scripts via MQTT and display backup status in Home Assistant. But haven't started that yet. So far I dump the logs and view them occasionally.
