I have thought about this some.
I do prefer having local copies of everything, because I don't trust The Cloud. Malicious actors can get your account shut down, and then all your stuff is gone, locked up and the key thrown away.
My solution has been to run a RAID 1 NAS device for all my local stuff (including all my media I want to stream in the house - nice having movies and TV when internet is down). 4TB drives, rated for NAS usage.
Important documents, and sentimental photos (many GB's worth from the last few decades) I periodically back up onto an external SSD and put in my fire safe with physical documents of importance.
- jdlshore 5y agoFYI, fire safes aren’t necessarily waterproof. They’ll protect your documents from the fire but not the firefighters’ water, or the drop through the burned out floor to the basement. Mine, for example, requires an additional treatment to be waterproof. Something to keep in mind if you haven’t already. (I keep my backups in three places: local drives, safe deposit box rotated quarterly, and BackBlaze. I’ve only ever needed the first, but I feel safer knowing I have the other two.)
- habeebtc 5y agoCrap. I guess I had not thought about water proofing. Probably important as I love next to a river.
