The Internet provides companies so much more flexibilities in 2022 than were available at the turn of the century. As recently as 2008, I used to have to drive tape backups to a safety deposit box at a local bank every day and bring back the oldest tape from there. We were a fairly small company, but did do a few million dollars of business a year. And the system worked for us.
I don’t see any checksum in the meta data file. When performing a backup you want to be sure, that your files keep integrity. A check if the checksums are matching would be great. Thoughts?
Encrypting backups doesn't save us from malicious encryption by a threat actors. They don't know what they encrypted, but we cannot access our data anymore.

rsync but cloud private or public.
rysnc can be used for both as long as the public cloud provider supports it. Will cover that more in the next video
