Discussion on: Where do you back-up your posts?

Currently I post on both DEV and Hashnode so there's 2 copies floating around.

Then with Hashnode's GitHub backup feature there's a 3rd copy on a public repo.

I write on Notion so the 4th copy is the notion workspace.

After I submit my posts I keep a copy with all the assets on cloud storage so there's 5!

Might start storing them locally once I build my nas this black friday / Christmas 😊

That might hurt your SEO as Google can crawl public repos and treat it as a duplicate content. To be sure I spoke with Hashnode co-founder about this on Twitter and he recommended setting back-up repo as private to be safe.

Of course, always point canonical URLs to the original if you x-post somewhere.
