Anytime you start a new project, your first goal is to have a backup. That’s what today’s episode is about. Things have changed since we covered it last, so here we go again.

First figure out what you want to backup. It should be way less than before. Most of everything already lives somewhere else. Your bills, statements, and other things have homes somewhere else. You are probably subscribing to music and movies, so that is somewhere else. Basically your documents.

We recommend a cloud provider. They are all good enough for most people.

If you want something more advanced, we mention SyncThing, Restic, and Synology.
