    My work flow is pretty similar to yours:

    For my desktop and laptops: systemd timer and service that backups every 15 minutes using restic to my NAS.

    For my NAS : daily backup using restic + ZFS snapshots.

    All restic backups are then uploaded daily to Backblaze B2.


















  • I encrypted my professional laptop’s drive in order to prevent access to company data and code in case of theft. And I’ll probably encrypt my personal laptop as well because the SSH key can access company code.

    As for the desktop, I didn’t and probably never will, because theft is less likely and that would be a pain to handle for nightly backups (it is turned on with Wake-on-LAN and then a cron backs up my home directory to my NAS).

    Finally, I won’t encrypt my NAS as well for the same reason: it would quickly become a hassle as I would have to manually decrypt the drives every time it boots after a power outage.
