Maybe this is a little OT, but what kind of backup strategy would you
guys recommend? (Any advice Gene? :) )

If it *must* survive, 3-2-1 is the way to go.

3 copies (Original, Backup, and Backup of the Backup)
2 different media types (such as HDD(Orig) + HDD(Bk1) + Optical(Bk2))
1 stored offsite

Except for the offsite storage (Just for my private data) this sounds perfect for my needs. Good thing is that i have two free HDD's here with 2TB each, so this would work ;)

That being said, most of my stuff isn't of the "absolutely must survive"
nature, so I just have it on external HDDs.  If something is
particularly important, it's on HDDs and also somewhere like google
drive / dropbox (although, encrypted when at those places).

I currently use dropbox myself to store my conf files (gzipped and then encrypted with aes) in case something bad should ever happen to my NAS, so that i can at least restore my servers quickly ;)

One question Dan: What do u use to encrypt your files? also openssl?
