[Discuss] Cloud-backup solutions for Linux?

[Bill Cattey]

I have finally fully implemented my offsite backup solution.

I have two (physically) small removable drives.

I use SuperDuper to create a duplicate of my active drive onto a removable drive.
I carry it over to a local bank and swap it with the drive currently in the box.

I repeat this process every couple months.
