    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.

    Thanks for your input, I appreciate the advice.

      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.
