Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You are right to be afraid. I had a similar story, and am still recovering and sorting what data is recoverable. Nearly lost age 0.5-1.5 years of media of my daughters life this way.
As others have said, don't replicate your existing backup. Do two backups. Preferably on different mediums, spinning disk/ssd eg.
If one backup is corrupted or something nasty is introduced, you will lose both. This is one of the times it is appropriate to do the work twice.
I've built two backup mini PCs, and I replicate to them pretty continuously. Otherwise, look at something like Borg base/alternatives.
Remember, 3-2-1 and restore testing. It's not a backup unless you can restore it.
