What do you use for 3-2-1? I try, so far I have my phone, backed up to a server HDD via SMB (Too poor for RAID-1 atm), and the very important stuff sent to a USB drive and returned to a drawer. Am I doing it right haha
Couple of considerations for you.
Is it a backup or a sync? Sync will sync your deletes and corrupted data.
It's ideal that you have your USB offsite.
I use restic and have a repo on a USB and a repo on AWS S3
Ah yeah, phone is a frequent sync with FolderSync, including deletions, and USB is a manual backup. A rental VPS is a good idea..
