alt Hacker NewsHow can I practically verify 2TB of a life's worth of files while guaranteeing I won't have data loss due to some edge cases and race conditions that delete my data.
Every time I've created my own backup script I realized knowing what to delete and when is not easy. IMO the practical solution to this is to just pay for more storage (within reason).

Same with literally every other backup software. Have two, and test restorations regularly. It's not easy, but nothing worth it when you need it ever is.
How can you practically verify that OneDrive won't do this either?
Look at it this way; all those reel to reels of grandpas and VHS tapes of dads are in the trash now.
They too thought they were storing important history. Only for their heirs to bin their stuff in order to focus on their lives.
Be less needy. No one cares anyway.
How can you guarantee you'll have access to your 2TB Google Drive when they ban your Google account for breaching terms or accidentally tripping a circuit breaker across one of their offerings?
Yup, pay more but get 2 providers.
