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

    My general rule with backups is the standard you pretty much hear everywhere: 3-2-1

    3 copies of every file you value 2 different media 1 off site

    For example, you can have two copies on one drive and a third in the cloud. That way you prevent accidental deletion, bit rot and house fire.

      I dunno about 2 copies on one drive - they’re both at risk of the same drive failing, etc.

        Yeah, but if your house burns down copies on different hdd wont matter much. Offsite like cloud will
