* Daily backup of Nextcloud to another Hetzner server about 2500km away, and to another server at home.

* All data encrypted at rest.

* All encryption keys and creds in keepass file.

* Also, encrypted 400G MicroSD card with a full Linux installation and most of my data (up to a point) in my wallet. Ready to go if I'm travelling and Laptop gets stolen or breaks.

That last point is fascinating. What does your process look like for keeping that up to date? Do you plug it in weekly or a similar set schedule to refresh the data on the card or is it a more adhoc thing?

I think I’d just forget to do it after a while!

I started carrying it a few weeks ago. Ideally I don't have to use it, but if I do, the Nextcloud client will just take care of syncing my data after going online. Another "apt upgrade" and it's ready to go. I could even start from another Linux USB system and copy the entire SD card disk via dd to a (potentially) new laptop.

This is really cool. You've got me thinking about adopting something similar.

Is deployment and management easy?
