#Cloud backup on super smash ultimate free

GitLab and other providers does provide free private repositories, just don't rely fully on that.Īt this point, it's clear the author is looking for arguments to make. > Free Git hosting such as GitHub, GitLab and others can also be utilized for data that you don't mind storing in public.

A cloud provider may have the best of intentions, but sometimes all it takes is a single grumpy employee or even a minor mistake to do a lot of damage.

Now you have quick and simple local restores but still have a backup in the cloud that requires zero trust in the provider. The safest and (in my opinion) most useful workflow is to back up your data locally to some kind of NAS or fileserver using plain old rsync and then back up that fileserver to (or whomever) using the fancy borg tool. It's also a magic black box for most users and would be difficult to work out failures. It is the 'holy grail of backups' after all. I think this is very good advice as well - and that is coming from someone who has whole-heartedly endorsed 'borg' as a backup tool and regularly recommends it.
