Re:Ask HN: How do you backup your files without depending on a third p... on Tuesday July 24, 2018 @03:09PM (#17604028)

RClone ( https://rclone.org/ ) synchronizes (similar to rcopy) directories with a multitude of providers and allows for client-side encryption. I use a combination of Google Cloud Storage (for really important files and pictures) with the "crypt" extension and an USB HDD Hub (4 disks) with Raid 5 hooked to a Raspberry PI for less important data. The backup scripts start on boot. It's a charm. Oh and rclone is written in Go so it works on all platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux (and also ARM).
