Backups go to target in place, outside home
A backup holds a full copy of the data, so the rule for home applies to it too.
Point the backup at a bucket or server inside homeReferenceThe 22 checks

What it reads
The storage targets in rclone settings, restic repositories, AWS CLI settings, and the backup commands in cron jobs and scripts under secrets.paths.
Does it need root?
It needs root for part of what it reads. rclone settings and cron jobs in /root and other users' folders can be read only by root. Without root, that part is skipped and never counted as passed. Run sudo kiyesi scan to include it.
When it passes
The report lists it as passed, in these words:
- count backup destinations checked, none outside home
- No backup destination found in the settings Kiyesi reads
