Recently I have decided that the backup solution I have been using is far too complex for my family to figure out when I die. I began writing documentation on how they can access photos, videos, documents and so on. In that process I thought, I gotta make this simple.

I’m thinking of just having two 10TB drives in RAID 1 on my desktop that get backed up to Backblaze via restic. Backblaze and similar cloud storage providers can send you a copy of your data for recovery. I think I can sufficiently document this process.

Has anyone else come up with a similar process?

    ‘bus disk’ a unique piece of media that contains all my access credentials to be used in the event of my being hit by a bus (sudden death).

    let the people that matter know where it is, if i get hit by a bus they or another IT professional ( like one of the kids) can get access.

    ive always had some form of a bus disk for professional and private life. keep that shit air gapped also
