        I’m doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.

          The shed as an of site backup is a good idea.

          We live in the shed (it is really its own entire stone building) during our full house renovation, so I have already run electrical and cat6a to the shed and have an old router in AP mode there.

          Hooking up one of those NAS boards or a 2nd hand old PC there would be a good backup option.

            Mine is raspberry pi zero 2w with an external enclosure attached to solar+battery. Wi-Fi is barely consistent enough for speeds around 1/4 what they should be. I’m still working out the kinks, but thanks be to FSM for rsync and snapshots, otherwise my backup scheme would probably never be able to finish.
