I bought 2 8TB drives last week and had to check if they were still in stock at the same retailer and they are, but the price have gone up with 23%...

Storing encryption keys for backup drives (lemmy.world)

I'm planning to setup backup on my nas with the 3-2-1 backup rule.

For the backup disks I want full disk encryption, but I also want to be really sure that I don't lose the encryption keys if I lose my phone and computer where I have my password manager.

What is a good practice to store the encryption key(s)?

One thought I had was to have an unencrypted partition on the backup disks that stores an encrypted keepass database with the key.

Any tips or experiences are welcome.

PS. I want to avoid cloud-based options.

Anyone have any experience with TubeArchivist? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I had the same issue when testing it, my server wasn’t powerful enough to run it. Elasticsearch seems to be the main culprit since its pretty heavy on both CPU and RAM, and that’s an intentional choice according to the developer: https://docs.tubearchivist.com/faq/#why-elasticsearch
