What do you use for offsite backup? Since best practice recommends 3 copies on 2 different devices where one device is offsite.

I thought about renting a storage box from Hetzner to use as an offsite backup but I was curious what you are using. And also if there might be some cheaper alternatives to my proposed solution that are equally as easy to setup.

I haven’t used it, but restic was mentioned in an earlier backup discussion. It appears to be able to use rclone, which can talk to object storage.

Yep, currently using restic with Backblaze B2 via rclone
