minus-square monovergent 🏁 ( @monovergent@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilink5•5 days agoIdeally: Well-organized set of frequently-used and recent files on my laptop Media and old documents on my NAS, synced to an external hard drive I can remove for travel Each device/non-backup drive/USB drive/SD card backed up to its own folder on a large external drive A duplicate of said drive from another manufacturer An archival copy of my documents and photos (encrypted on microSD ofc) that I carry with me Additional copy of the most important stuff on M-Discs Reality: Controlled mess on my laptop Dumping ground of random YT videos and CD rips on my NAS A well-curated external drive prepared in my pandemic free time An external drive with somewhat periodic backups of my devices alongside every unsorted file. I worry that some file paths have grown too long Duplicate of the two above on one large external drive Another external drive with files and backups of dubious usefulness that I refuse to delete An outdated copy of my documents and photos on an everyday carry microSD A stack of unused M-Discs
