I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

I’m backing up my stuff over to Storj DCS (basically S3 but distributed over several regions) and it’s been working like a charm for the better part of a year. Quite cheap as well, similar to Backblaze.

For me the upside was I could prepay with crypto and not use any credit card.
