    ok so confession: my only backup of my tax documents is cloud storage... im fairly suree thats not enough, but every guide i find is either enterprise-level or a sales pitch. whats a sensible, low-effort setup for a normal person with a desktop and a laptop? id like to spend a little money if its worth it, but i dont wanna build a server in my colset.. lol whats the sweet spot for a normal household?

    wait do you have a place off-site, like a relatives house or a cloud plan? ?

    Write down how to restore, including any passwords for encrypted backups, and keep it somewhere you'll find it when things go wrong.

    ok so test a restore every few months: pick a random file from an old backup and actually open it. Its teh only way to know the backup works. hope that helps :)
