minus-squarerumschlumpel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-27 days agoStep 1: Have a fast enough internet connection to upload your data remotely without too much issues. My upload speed is about 0.3 MiB (byte not bits). Which is probably barely enough for photos, but not for anything bigger than that.
minus-squarevelindora@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-27 days ago local NAS syncs over WiFi. House to house NAS can go slow, it will eventually get there.
minus-squarerumschlumpel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoIf it takes literal days to complete the upload of a larger file or directory to the backup, that’s rather error-prone.
minus-squarevelindora@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoIt’s not error prone if you do it right. Syncing files is easy. But for your situation you might only be able to have the local NAS, which is probably good enough. You can private-cloud most things using something like NextCloud or similar.
minus-squarerumschlumpel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoPrivate cloud is rather expensive when you have terabytes of data to back up.
minus-squarevelindora@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·7 days agoAt this point I expect no matter what I say, you will reject my suggestions. You should use Google or Apple cloud and just accept your privacy loss.
minus-squarerumschlumpel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-27 days agoSince when did Google or Apple give you terabytes of cloud storage for free? Also, why the fuck are you on Lemmy if you don’t care about privacy loss?
minus-squarevelindora@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·7 days agoNothing will make you happy. You want terabytes of data for free on your own private cloud. That does not exist. How many TB do you need? Hard drives are cheap. Just get two in a mirror so if one dies you can replace it without data loss. If you want something, you gotta pay for it. You know this, stop being a twat

minus-squarevelindora@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 days agoWell, friends who also have a stable internet connection and won’t sell your NAS to afford their healthcare? Haha
