Imagine how much of your life can be wiped out by a Carrington Event, which is not that unlikely.
I don't trust clouds for this. Right now, archival-grade DVDs are not a bad option. Almost 5 GB, and under good storage conditions these can last >50 years, probably more.
- gond 2y agoHave you considered 100GB BD-RE? These are rewritable, but that is only the byproduct of being a phase-change medium, which is also >50 years and thus has a longer shelf life than the standard WORM BD/DVD. I am using them and can say only good things so far.
