Backups should also be incremental when possible (rather than mirror copies) so an accidental deletion isn't propagated into the backups, making the file irrecoverable.
|

|

## Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
The key is to have one central location that all your files, projects, and data are cloned to and then back that directory up to multiple locations.
|
||||
|
||||
I have one backup folder `/mnt/backup` on my media server at home that serves as the destination for all my backup sources. All scheduled automatic backups write to their own subfolder inside of it.
|
||||
|
||||
This backup folder is then synced to encrypted 2.5" 1 TB hard drives which I rotate between my bag, offsite, and my parents' house.

I use the tool `rdiff-backup` extensively because it allows me to take incremental backups locally or over SSH. It acts very similar to `rsync` and has no configuration.
