So, when you activate simple versioning, and keep the last 20 Versions, then an error occurs (or malicious actor) and overrides the file 20 times. Then the simple versioning is gone.
Yes with the correct setup you could probably backup via syncthing BUT no one in the comments ellaboborated and mostly just says “i sync to multiple devices via syncthing”
Yeah, syncing with default settings is a bad idea for backup, but it’s better than nothing.
A more robust set up, while not foolproof, is to set history to keep all copies for 30 days, not a fixed amount of files. It’s also important to enable conflict detection so if the file was changed on two devices in between sync it keeps both copies (and cross-syncs them).
Syncthing can store multiple versions of things…
