Yeah I need to dig deeper into the best strategies. Regular WORM backups seem to be the industry standard in this regard. So for now my external USB HDD backups once a month seem to be quite good as a start.
Even if you stay with external drive backups, consider a kind of total loss copy.
You could easily end up being in a fire or some natural disaster and lose both your server and your backups.
An easy way to add this in your life if you’re already going there is a safe deposit box at the bank. You just gotta remember to take a weekly copy over there for safekeeping.

The mirror at my brothers is in another European country 400km away. I think that’s a good protection against natural disasters and fire
Well I’m American so idk how far away that is and it’s incredibly racist of you to assume I would.
If you wanna conquer other countries you better get to learning the metric system.
