RE: Ransomware the end of the 3-2-1 backup?

in LeoFinance10 months ago

I have used pen drives to back things up but they seem to lose data very easily. I do wonder if the Trezor and Ledger devices are equally unreliable! lol SSD are supposed to be not good for long term storage, so we have just the typical slower external drives we could use. What software would you recommend for taking snapshots of your drives on a typical windows or linux system?

Sort:  

I highly recommend TrueNAS as a network file server which uses ZFS. This supports any operating system as your desktop. Rsync.net also has a remote ZFS for off-site where you can send backups to the cloud with immutable snapshots.

The easiest, is just using a couple of USB HDD and never have them all connected to your machine at the same time. I wouldn't recommend running any one drive for longer than 7 days, although daily switching would be ideal it is time consuming.
