After I’m Gone Backup Solution (lemmy.world)

Recently I have decided that the backup solution I have been using is far too complex for my family to figure out when I die. I began writing documentation on how they can access photos, videos, documents and so on. In that process I thought, I gotta make this simple.

I’m thinking of just having two 10TB drives in RAID 1 on my desktop that get backed up to Backblaze via restic. Backblaze and similar cloud storage providers can send you a copy of your data for recovery. I think I can sufficiently document this process.

Has anyone else come up with a similar process?

I want the opposite. I want all of my data to be completely inaccessible to anyone, and potentially even self-destruct somehow.

I'm sure that really depends on the data.

If we're talking about stuff like family photos, then having it retrievable feels pretty reasonable to me.

Sure, if you have family photos. Or a family that you want to have access to anything of yours. I do not. And I very specifically want to do everything in my power to prevent my so-called family from gaining access to anything of mine, digital or physical.

I'm sorry you have such a shit family bro :/

There's that as well. Point is, it really depends on the data.

To be honest, I don't care. After all, why? I'll be dead, I won't care. You can leak it all then. Just make sure I am actually dead.
