Hey folks, being the family IT man I’ve held onto all of my families photos/videos over the last 20 years
I’ve been pretty careless with the backups and I know if I don’t do anything it’s only a matter of time before I lose them
Although I’ve never used them, tape drives seem to be the best so I thought I’d ask here if anyone uses them for their homelab?
It might be overkill for a few GB of photos but I’d also use the tape drives for data hoarding purposes so it’s a win win in my book
The good ones… Are not cheap (if someone knows a cheap option though, I’d be happy to add it to my own repertoire!)
For me, I backup with:
The offsite NAS at the family’s house - how did you configure offsite access? Did you have to upgrade their router?
I’m planning to have a NAS at my parents’ place too, and I will probably just set it up with Tailscale.
Wireguard site-to-site, they already had an OK router I recommended to them so not much effort there.
