Techies, what's your personal data storage setup (photos, music, movies, docs) and what do you recommend everyone should be using?

Most people realize too late that they didn’t have backups of their data or don’t realize they can easily setup their own media servers at home. What do you use and suggest? Everything from beginner tech knowledge to advance. TIA

I’ll have to check it out. Restic sounds interesting.

Definitely do! It’s entirely command line driven, but don’t let that put you off, it’s quite easy to use and well thought out.

If that’s still a concern, there’s also backrest, a project that puts a web UI in front of restic:
