It definitely takes extra work to protect yourseld against data loss using syncthing over something like Dropbox. I have a mirrored ZFS (FreeNAS vm) which I back up to a usb HD and Backblaze (600GB is running me about 3USD/month)

How do you set up the mirrored ZFS? Is this running some type of job that runs something like rsync on a schedule?
In my case it all depends on having the FreeNAS up and running. Once that's working, it's pretty easy to configure it with a couple drives to have them mirror each other. I'm actually running FreeNAS in a VM, but I'm passing through the PCIE SATA controller so FreeNAS has complete control over the hardware, which is important for ZFS. My machine also has ECC memory, which the FreeNAS folks claim is pretty much a must. Hard to determine how true that is. I've seen some conflicting opinions.
