If I have a home server connected to Proton Drive for example, would that be sufficient to back up my data?

    Would that be sufficient

    No.

    Three copies; your working copy, and a cloud copy, and (as an example) on and external HD that you keep at a friend’s house….

    On two separate media… so yes cloud can cover that

    One off site. So yeah cloud covers that.

    Encryption on your off site copies. Yeah I don’t care if they are Linux ISOs or your grandmas recipes. ENCRYPTED

    Thanks for coming to my TED talk

      And I would argue that all data should be encrypted now, even the working copy. If you have data that’s worth backing up, you probably don’t want it in the hands of criminals or weirdos either.

        It’s so easy to set up, just tick a box during os install most times. Then if you do rcline just use an encrypt on top of your remote, make sure your conf is backed up, and you’re golden

        Agreed… Yes, and… specific to backups all the encryption….

        Your production stuff, yes should be as well
