In this video, I will show you something that rarely gets discussed, but I believe is absolutely crucial: how to make good backups that serve their purpose while remaining secure and private.Mega Affiliate Link: thenewoil.org/megaFilen Affiliate Link: thenewoil.org/filenProton Affiliate Link: thenewoil.org/protonLearn more at thenewoil.org/en/guides/moderately-important/backupsSupport us with a merch store, affiliate links, and more at thenewoil.org/en/supportYou can also view these videos on other websites.PeerTube: apertatube.net/c/thenewoil/videosYouTube: youtube.com/thenewoil1:05 Why not use iCloud, Google Drive, etc?1:50 What makes a good backup?2:00 Question 1: What do you want to back up?2:18 Question 2: How often do you need to make backups?2:47 Question 3: How far back do you need to keep backups?3:23 Step 4: Come up with a system.4:29 The 3-2-1 Rule5:11 My backup strategy (and cloudless offsite storage ideas)6:31 The Cloud7:38 Nextcloud11:44 Filen12:43 Sync13:10 Mega13:37 ProtonDrive14:32 Cryptomater (and VeraCrypt)Source 1: vpnoverview.com/privacy/social-media/what-does-google-know-about-meSource 2: youtube.com/watch?v=pKeKOf_FqTo; odysee.com/@thenewoil:7/intro-to-open-source:c; https://peertube.thenewoil.xyz/videos/watch/be50682e-f07d-4c97-a718-4daa5c95e815Source 3: youtube.com/watch?v=k9YSSxfJU10; odysee.com/@thenewoil:7/everything-you-need-to-know-about-2:ef; https://peertube.thenewoil.xyz/videos/watch/7112964e-d85b-4c6a-9a7c-3b92b51bd28eSource 4: apple.com/legal/privacy/en-wwSource 5: dropbox.com/privacySource 6: policies.google.com/privacy#infocollectSource 7: washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/10/31/a-mysterious-message-is-locking-google-docs-users-out-of-their-filesSource 8: nextcloud.comSource 9: docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/encryption_configuration.htmlSource 10: nextcloud.com/blog/encryption-in-nextcloudSource 11: apps.nextcloud.com/apps/end_to_end_encryptionSource 12: github.com/nextcloud/providers#providersSource 13: optoutpod.com/episodes/s2e11-nextcloudSource 14: filen.ioSource 15: github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/345#issuecomment-976415846Source 16: sync.comSource 17: Affiliate link: mega.nz/aff=UBJLjO7sxZU; Standard link: mega.ioSource 18: Affiliate link: go.getproton.me/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=2187; Standard link: drive.protonmail.comSource 19: protonmail.com/blog/proton-drive-early-accessSource 20: cryptomator.orgSource 21: https://veracrypt.fr/en/Home.htmlSource 22: gitlab.com/thenewoil/website/-/wikis/Could-storage-(%22Backup%22)-Criteria
