I back mine up to my own local disk, but about once every three months or so, I pull a copy from the disk onto my phone. That way I have another copy of it that's not on the local disk.

My setup doesn't change that much in that amount of time, so I'm not particularly worried about losing a bunch of data.

@shortwavesurfer This is a good strategy until I remember to do it diligently 😅.

The first step I did with my new install is to ensure that the cloud backup works(self hosted coming soon)
