I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

    ZFS array using striping and parity. Daily snapshots get backed up to another machine on the network. 2 external hard drives with mirrors of the backup rotate between my home and office weekly-ish.

    I can lose 2 hard drives from the array at the same time without suffering data loss. Any accidentally deleted files can be restored from a snapshot if my house is hit by a meteor I lose maximum of 3-4 days of snapshots.
