I have some scripts that use restic to backup to locally connected USB drives weekly.
The USB drives are connected to smart plugs that I control via home assistant and some webhooks. So the drives are off and stay off when not in use for the backup. I also don’t turn them both on at the same time.
I bought an Odroid HC2 years ago with the intent to have it connect over wireguard and mount to the NAS VM. Then I could put it in a friends house and use it as an offsite backup.
I also sometimes backup to backblaze
The comment section there is all “please release steam os for desktop.and I’ll switch immediately”. And I’m just sat here with EndeavourOS running all my games perfectly like, “just install Linux already with steam”
