Gandi is absolutely not the company I expected this to come from.

With that having been said, everyone please stop assuming your data is safe. It’s never safe, but it’s extremely not safe single homed somewhere. Make backups. Anything that’s saved locally on one machine only? Consider it gone until it’s backed up.

Cloud providers may be able to give you better assurances, but if you really care about data give it at least 2 independent homes. I’ve lost data more than I care to admit. BuyVM lost one of my VPSes years ago. Who’s fault was it really?

When you are ready to stop kidding yourself about your data, check out some backup solutions. I particularly like Borg Backup:

And if you do not have network attached storage anywhere there are services that provide it as a service.

(Note: I think needless to say it’s also a good idea to back your NAS up to other places too, although I haven’t gotten into this practice yet. Synology supposedly has a lot of features around this.)
