       A periodic reminder: Make sure you have backups of your photos. My main drive with memories spanning 20 years crashed this week. It took close to 90 hours, but now all 80k photos are restored from my cloud backup.

       @anders May I suggest Cubbit for geo-distributed backups?https://www.cubbit.io/And SnapRAID + MergerFS is great for home storage (for people comfortable with command line tools):https://www.snapraid.it/https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs

       @alexl Will definitely have a look. But I’m quite happy with Arq Backup, so they better be good. :)

       @alexl Looks like Cubbit is S3 compatible? Possible to use with Arq then. What are the biggest advantages you see with Cubbit?

       @anders The idea is that data is distributed encrypted to the machines of different users in different regions, with some redundancy, to prevent losing data when one or more servers go offline for whatever reason (fires or natural disasters happen and data centers have been affected in the past).I know it is used by companies, institutions, universities etc.

       @alexl That’s nice! A RAID in the cloud, so to speak. Do you use it yourself? Can’t find any pricing information on their web. Seems like you need a account for that?

       @anders You only pay for storage and bandwidth you actually use, usually a few €/$ per TB per month

       @alexl Will sign up to see how it compares to Wasabi and Storj, which I currently use. Thanks for the tips!
