Recently I have decided that the backup solution I have been using is far too complex for my family to figure out when I die. I began writing documentation on how they can access photos, videos, documents and so on. In that process I thought, I gotta make this simple.
I’m thinking of just having two 10TB drives in RAID 1 on my desktop that get backed up to Backblaze via restic. Backblaze and similar cloud storage providers can send you a copy of your data for recovery. I think I can sufficiently document this process.
Has anyone else come up with a similar process?
Backblaze supports encryption and lives in “the cloud”. Seems like if they don’t currently have a “beneficiary” option, they should add it. Your beneficiary could make a free account, and you add their account as your beneficiary. Until you die, they can’t access anything. But if you do, it is all accessible by them and only them.
