    Bitwarden has a really nice CLI that lets you backup your vault easily. I personally run bw export --format json --raw every few week so if for some reason I lose the “cloud” access, I can still migrate to self hosted or a different password manager. (Or you may choose to self-host to begin with)

      The danger with self hosting is that police can always steal everything from you.

      Felt weird hearing story of my ex that the german customs office just stole their Laptop and Phone. She couldn’t show me pictures and she hadn’t any backups or smth.

      I am afraid this could happen to me too when they suspect something but are wrong at the end. At the entire time I will not have access to my drives of my server and maybe they accidentally break them. Not sure if they will believe me that its a raid 1, I can imagine them stealing everything without questioning.

          I wonder how to comfortable sync a 2TB drive and take it with you.

          Additionally. I dont do backups. I only sync devices. Except for Phone pictures which are uploaded and deleted from the phone. I think there should be a second device that keeps data

              I wonder how I should design backups as large as 2TB. I would love to have something outside of my Home that does backups, but doing this remotely seems overkill.

              But you are giving me the potential to think about it and redesign my insecure data that may dissappear someday.
