I didn't mention it but it's a good practice to test backups to make sure that they are still backups. Choose the time interval you are comfortable with and visit your offsite backups, make sure they match your current storage. I do not recommend "longer term", I suggested swapping your old drive for a new one every two years, that's the length of the term. I do every year, because that's how often I buy stuff, but I didn't want others to say "too expensive"
