One of my hard drives S.M.A.R.T. said it could fail anytime and I should backup my data. I cut all the files to a new hard drive.

Later that week the new drive fails with the needle falling into the magnetic disks... Fml. 

Should've saved those files on the cloud...

    @Nanos I should've kept the original files on the old drive so I could've saved them...

    And I moved almost everything away from the cloud. Now I'm just syncing all the important stuff via a local nextcloud server and backing it up onto 2 different harddrives.

    @deadlyRants why did you move the files away from the cloud?

    3 copies. 3 different media. 3 different locations.

    @mauker Besides privacy stuff I was tired of the memory limitations.
    Why pay for some Dropbox premium account when I can sync everything without limits and with more control?

    Besides, transferring a few GB without online servers inbetween is really fast.
