    I wonder how to comfortable sync a 2TB drive and take it with you.

    Additionally. I dont do backups. I only sync devices. Except for Phone pictures which are uploaded and deleted from the phone. I think there should be a second device that keeps data

        I wonder how I should design backups as large as 2TB. I would love to have something outside of my Home that does backups, but doing this remotely seems overkill.

        But you are giving me the potential to think about it and redesign my insecure data that may dissappear someday.

          It all depends on how much you treasure that 2TB of data. If you cannot afford to lose it, then you don’t really have any other option. All I’m saying is that self-hosting and backups go hand in hand. Self-hosting without backups is just asking for trouble. But what you are talking about sounds more like 2TB of old photos, that’s not really self-hosting. Just get a second 2TB drive and copy it there. This thread started with talks about password managers and their backups - those aren’t 2TB.
