I Nearly Lost All of My Data (2019)

  >At this point I’m really worried. You see, I cancelled my off-site Amazon Glacier backups around 6 months ago. What are the chances of both a 4 disk RAID failing AND a USB drive at the same time? Not likely, I thought. Boy was I wrong. Err: 1) Power surge - multiple fried disks. 2) House fire - multiple burned disks. 3) Flood - multiple soaked disks. 4) Burglary - multiple stolen disks. 5) Corruption at the origin level - writing BS to the RAID and the external USB drive. Off site / Cloud backups are essential.
