BTRFS snapshotting/backup

[macalinao]

I need to set up encrypted backup on my stuff. Everything important to me right now is kept in Git, but it's still probably good practice for me to be able to roll back updates to my computer. I also have several configs not in Git and/or not viable to put in Git, e.g. IM credentials, Google Chrome credentials, etc.

Options:

• S3 backup via S3backer + LUKS
  • Pros: easy to manage, dev friendly
  • Cons: Expensive
• Google One
  • Pros: Integration with other media, e.g. Google Photos
  • Cons: past 2TB this is just way too expensive
• Buy an external HDD
  • Pros: Unlimited space, fixed cost
  • Cons: Data not save in case of disaster
