    I don’t understand what Railway is supposed to do here? If deleting a drive also deletes the backup, what’s the point of the backup?

      I save space on backups by symlinking my data in a backup directory. It’s never failed!

        You obviously should do a hardlink, as this is much safer

          It saves on storage costs!

        I XOR all the bytes of my data and write down the resulting byte value on a post-it as our backup.

        Saves tons of space, it’s fully offline and I never had any problem with it.
