Make sure you cycle some of those drives in the tote to an off-site location. Your current strategy is not geo redundant!

- brudgers 6y agoBased on my experience with 5.25 inch floppies, 3.5 inch floppies, 100 meg zip disks. Qic 40 tapes, CD-R's, and DVR's I suspect the eventual offsite location will be the nearest landfill.
- unixhero 6y agoUhm. Geo redundancy protects and makes your backup strategy robust for fire, burglars and water leaks, earthquakes? Sure, then after a few cycles like that the landfill or some other recycling plant sounds like a good idea for the media :)
- brudgers 6y agoIn case of fire, I care about my dogs. The tote is water proof. It's reasonably strong and though I live in earthquake country I live in a one story structure. Six sigma's to the burglar who burgles old hard drives from a closeted tote. I've long since accepted my more moral failings in regard to best backup practices. YMMV.
