Hey guys, I think it’s the time for me to start doing backups (better later than never I guess) but I’m not sure how my workflow should look like, because I would like to store them in:

  • encrypted in Google Cloud (I know Backblaze exists but I’m already paying for storage on Google so no reason to use and pay for a different service)
  • on external HDD
  • and of course still have them on drivers from which they were backed up

I know I could use software like Kopia to handle backups for me, but the issue I have this is that I want to backup specific things from specific folders, and the second issue is that I want to backup from 2 drives that I have on my PC and from two OSs (Linux and Windows) that are installed on my PC. So, any ideas how should I handle backups like this? Should I just manually copy everything into the external driver + make second copy of that and use something to encrypt it so it’s ready for an upload to Google Drive.
