Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out, curious on maintenance cost though as I don't really want a project.
1 - How much time was setup?
2 - How many times did it break in the last year?
3 - How many of the summaries were actionable?
My main concern with active auto backup is maintenance time; my expectation is I'm busy and my personal backup would take me weeks to fix if and only if I notice there is an issue, and the summaries are alert fatigue.
I feel while this situation is avoidable, you will still lose data from your last successful backup and anything less than "just works" isn't viable for anything important vs manual duplication.
I have two copies of some files (local and Drive) and probably a few Drive-only despite having local sync. If my computer died in the same time as Google list the data, I would expect some data loss, but the cost of categorical prevention is very high.
That being said, if it is only $5 and is actually touchless,
Setup was about 15 minutes getting the Docker image to run on my VPS, and it’s broken zero times in two years. The summaries are very basic and just let you know how much was backed up and if there were any errors.
