Reminds me of the ESP32 ROM dictionary only taking a 15 character limit and simply bugging out silently without any notification whatsoever. Arduino, so easy to use, great for beginners. It has got all the wild goose chases!

Thanks for the detailed follow up. Always interesting to read about the paths some people go.

I am happy with 2 external drives that I fire up once in a while to create 2 new backups.

If this is satire: well done.

Things I think about, which would be interesting to know, perhaps I missed something. Please share your experiences:

How many hours did it take you to set everything up? How much did you eventually spend for everything combined? What are the running costs? How much space does it gobble up? How loud is it? Backup/redundancy plan? Internet connection good enough (upload speed)?

How much did you pay for that? He gets 0.5 TB for 48 $ per year, presumably including 24/7 availability, redundancy, etc. And not just included but without having to manage anything.

Wow, well done mate.
