Worth considering when making backups. A burglary, fire, virus or hacker won't do this but the police may take your offsite backups and your onsite ones and your computer with the credentials to your online backup service.

- exporectomy 5y agoThey delete it after 6 months if you don't connect, which would happen if the police had it. You also might not be able to log in without your phone for 2FA or your password manage for the password. I guess storing backups on a device that's the property of somebody else would be a way. I'm guessing they won't go seizing non-suspects' property.
