Recommendations for data backup solutions ? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello, so, I have been self-hosting some basic stuff recently, including data storage so i don't have to rely on external services like google drive.

It's working fine, but I wondered what would be the best backup solutions in case something unexpected and unfortunate happens (accidentally wipe out everything, drives dying, electrical issues, house burning down, that sort of thing).

I was wondering if more experienced self-hosters had recommendations about that ?

Maybe storing a physical drive in an especially sturdy box ? Perhaps using distant cold storage solutions ? Or even something I have never heard of ?

  1. Hourly snapshots using btrbk
  2. Daily local backup to a NAS, also with btrbk (note: requires btrfs on both sender and receiver systems)
  3. I'm currently setting up a remote backup solution using borg to the NAS of a relative

I'd consider paper (physical) backups for essential passwords and keys, but be careful about security.
