> Well what about backups? Do you retroactively go through your backups and remove R2BF users?

Good one, hadn't even though of this. I planned on my VPN provider handling off-site backups for me, but this would mean I'm unable to delete a use from backups.

Does anybody have a solid solution for this?

Keep backups for less than the timeframe you have for "right to erasure" (less than 30 days is probably safe), make them non-accessible by default/to normal staff, only use them to restore in an emergency, job done.

It's not fucking hard, although a lot of people seem to be struggling with the concept of not hoarding data, or privacy in general.

Thanks, this is pretty good advice.
