No off-site backup for me, these items aren’t important enough, it’s more for “oops I broke my computer” or “set my new computer up faster” convenience.
Anything I really don’t want to lose is in a paid cloud service with a local backup sync over SMB to my TrueNAS box for some of the most important ones.
An exception is GitHub, I’m not paying for GitHub, but git kinda sorta backs itself up well enough for my purposes just by pulling/pushing code. If I get banned from GitHub or something I have all the local repos.
Good to know! I have shifted more to self hosting, e.g., Gitea rather than Github, and need to establish proper redundancy. Hopefully Borg Backup, with it's deduplication will be good, at least for on-site backups.
I am much more in-between. I don’t mind cloud stuff and even consider it safer than my local stuff due to other smart people doing the work. And I’m not looking for a second job self hosting, except for my game servers.
I mostly just don’t want to be stuck with cloud services from big tech that have slimy practices. I’d rather pay for honest products that let me own my data better. With the exception given to GitHub which I guess is out of my own laziness and maybe I should do something about that.
If you’re using gitea you might be interested in Forgejo, it’s a fork and I think it’s well regarded since gitea went more commercial-ish IIRC?
