I am currently thinking about my own setup for photo and video backup, and was curious what other people are using as their own backup systems.

Do you use online photo hosting like Google photos? Do you use self hosted backup system / network accessed storage? How many backups do you have in total? Do you split by medium and location?

Apologies if there is such a question on lemmy already.

    These look very neat, thank you.

    Out of curiosity, do you selfhost at home, or via private VPS?

    If at home, wouldn’t eg a fire wipe out the photos? Or do you have several backups?

      Almost everything is currently at home (at my fathers home, fiber internet, a basement with enough space etc.). I use borg to backup to a Hetzner Storagebox.

      I only use a VPS for IPv6 addresses with rDNS and a static IPv4 with rDNS, as backup. And the storagebox, ofc.

      Though, hopefully, I’ll soon get another nice deal to have a second server at my fathers place, so I can take the current fallback server back to my home, so I can actually host all my stuff there in case I need to.
