        I’m doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.

        Same. It’s pretty cheap, comes with unlimited free traffic and is just simple to use. Supports many ways to access it, including BorgBackup.

        Can I (figuratively speaking) just change the destination in my backup scripts and start writing to Hetzner… or are they using a completely different setup?
