Ok current setup for "important" data is a two-drive ZFS mirror that rsyncs nightly to the Raidz-2.

The biggest downside here is all of these drives are in the same machine which is obviously bad.

Anyone here using Duply/Duplicity/Boto/S3 ? I backed up and restored a small portion of data last night and it seems to work OK, but what are the long term things to worry about?

Obviously the key I'm encrypting the data with is now just as important as the data, along with whatever other metadata this house of cards needs to actually understand and retrieve the data. Do I need a separate off-site backup of the duply directory itself?

Is md5 checksumming photos and videos you backup overkill?

Only can tell you if they have changed, can't help you restore, so maybe not overkill but how useful is it?

PAR2 them instead :)
