We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Noob who wants to Backup the Cloud (alien.top)

Hey! I saw the post about Google randomly losing a bunch of Google Drive data and I realized that a lot of my data in the cloud can just go away any time and I'd be screwed.

I want to backup my data from numerous cloud services somewhere (either a local hard drive or to some other cloud service, or maybe both?). I'd like to backup Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, GitHub, and Bitwarden.

Are there any recommended tools/services that would allow me to easily backup my data from these services? Or what is the recommended way to go about it? Thanks!

Keep your data with multiple different cloud storage companies. As for bitwarden, I'd use at least 3 different providers and try to keep them in sync manually. If one ever goes bust then you always have the other as backup.
