It was one of the easiest to setup and it works flawlessly. I’m a bit paranoid about losing my data even with the backups… Any recommendation?

B2 gives you an API key, you put that into rclone.
You setup encryption with rclone which you can make a passkey for, or let it generate. Just make sure to save it somewhere.
Yes. It was the “save it somewhere” I was wondering what people do. If you keep it in the same building as the server, a fire could render backups useless.
I ended up storing it on a separate online service from backblaze
I keep it as a “secure note” in my password manager.
Though I host that myself and back it up to B2…
Well I’m sure I’d be able to use one of many devices I have that has the vault cached if things go to hell.
