Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This is also what I do, weekly. It's one of the cheapest (cheap SATA drive and USB enclosure, pay once) and most reliable methods, and arguably one of the most secure (the offsite backup drive is also offline most of the time).
A simple script on my desktop sends a desktop notification reminding me to plug the USB drive, once it's mounted backups get pulled from my servers to the external disk, then I get a notification to unplug the drive and store it away. There's about 15 minutes every week where all backups are in the same place. To be extra safe, use 2 drives and rotate them each week.
