Ask HN: What do you use to backup your personal files in 2019?

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

I currently use a combination of Backblaze for everything, plus manual S3/Glacier upload through the aws cli, for only my photo assets, for redundancy. It's "ok", but not great. Like I mentioned, I'd love something like a Backblaze, but without the requirement for 30 day syncs.

Your setup is totally respectable, but I'm hoping to find something that's very much of a one-button set-and-forget vs having to manage anything myself. Possibly 2 of these services at once, in case one of them craps out and I'm stuck with no backups.

Cool ... I've always found it useful to sit and think carefully about what I want to achieve, what I'm willing to invest (time, effort, and money) up front, and then what I'm willing to invest on an on-going basis. Everyone has different requirements and cost/benefit balances.

Hope you find something that better meets your needs, and it would be interesting if, when you do so, you could write it up and post a link.

Cheers!
