alt Hacker NewsMy takeaway is that for data that matters, don't trust the service. I back up with Restic, so that the service only sees encrypted blobs.

What cloud backend are people using for restic? B2/S3/something else? I'm still just backing up to other machines using it (though I'd also heavily recommend restic)

Same, I use Restic + Backrest (plus monitoring on Healthchecks, self-hosted + Prometheus/AlertManager/Pushover), with some decent structure - local backups every half-an-hour to raid1, every hour a backup to my old NAS, every day a backup to FTP in Helsinki, and once a week some backups to Backblaze (via Restic). Gives me local backups, observability, remote backups spread across different providers - seems quite safe :) I highly recommend to everyone figuring out a good backup strategy, takes a day or two.
Edit: on top of that I've built a custom one-page monitoring dashboard, so I see everything in one place (https://imgur.com/B3hppIW) - I'll opensource, it's decent architecture, I just need to cleanup some secrets from Git history...
