## 🔜 Your Next Steps

### 1️⃣ DigitalOcean Spaces (Do today)
```bash
# Get API key: https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens
# Get Spaces keys: https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens (Spaces access keys)

# Configure rclone
rclone config
# Name: do-spaces
# Provider: DigitalOcean Spaces
# Region: nyc3

# Test
rclone ls do-spaces:remix-sniper-backup

# Run backup
~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup_to_cloud.sh do-spaces
```

### 2️⃣ Time Machine (This week)
1. Buy external drive (1 TB+)
2. Format as APFS
3. System Settings > General > Time Machine
4. Enable encryption → save password to 1Password
5. Run first backup (overnight)

### 3️⃣ Backblaze (Optional but recommended)
- https://backblaze.com
- $6/month per computer
- Continuous offsite backup

## 🛡️ The 5 Layers

| Layer | Tool | Protects |
|-------|------|----------|
| L1 | Git + GitHub | Code (instant) |
| L2 | Time Machine | Everything local (hourly) |
| L3 | rclone + DO Spaces | Critical data (daily) |
| L4 | Backblaze | Everything (continuous) |
| L5 | Offsite drive | Physical copy (manual) |
