My 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.

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...

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)

I run restic with rclone, which is not only compatible with S3-like storage (which include many, like Hetzner, OVH, Exoscale) but many others, from mega to pcloud through Google Drive.

For stuff I care about (mostly photos), I back them up on two different services. I don't have TBs of those, so it's not very expensive. My personal code I store on git repositories anyway (like SourceHut or Codeberg or sometimes GitHub).

		Yep, I was wondering which services people would recommend. I had been thinking about B2, I just haven't prioritised it.
