Just started hosting Vaultwarden. It's freaking awesome.

It was one of the easiest to setup and it works flawlessly. I'm a bit paranoid about losing my data even with the backups.. Any recommendation?

Where do you backup the decryption? Is it a memorized password, or a key?

B2 gives you an API key, you put that into rclone.

You setup encryption with rclone which you can make a passkey for, or let it generate. Just make sure to save it somewhere.

Yes. It was the "save it somewhere" I was wondering what people do. If you keep it in the same building as the server, a fire could render backups useless.

I ended up storing it on a separate online service from backblaze

I keep it as a "secure note" in my password manager.

Though I host that myself and back it up to B2....

Well I'm sure I'd be able to use one of many devices I have that has the vault cached if things go to hell.
