@shortwavesurfer This is a good strategy until I remember to do it diligently 😅.

The first step I did with my new install is to ensure that the cloud backup works(self hosted coming soon)

The reason I do it that way is because I have my password manager in KeePass and do the database backups in the same way. So when I'm doing one of them, I do the other at the same time, just for consistency's sake.
