Those who keep another copy of their hard drive (or whatever other backup source) offsite, where is that? Your mommas house? A storage locker facility? At work?

    My dream setup is two NAS servers, one at my desk, another at my parents house 2000 miles away sitting at the bottom shelf of my mom’s desk.

    Safe deposit box, 8TB external drive with encrypted backups of my NAS. Have the same drive locally too and swap them monthly. Current year and prior year folders also get cloud backed up to backblaze.

    Mom’s house. Old pc with a bunch of big usb drives on a high shelf in her basement. Open vpn point to point vpn set up so she can use my nfs and I can send backups.

    I have another house, about 800 miles away… With another fairly identical setup. VPN at 1gb between. That’s for the replication. Also, have another site, with a VPN, and some rackspace there for periodic backups. My more critical stuff is put in an encrypted drive and left at another location. I like doing things myself and this works for me, but you may want to look into some bucket storage in the cloud, or just a USB drive you can carry offsite on occation.

    Backblaze + parents basement with multiple externals. I also use one drive for files I want to access remotely and backing up photos during vacation if I have access to decent internet.

    Onedrive for my documents but that is only up to 1 TB, and more for convenience as i have them available everywhere on all devices.

    Pictures in the locker at work. = 8TB drive

    HDDs in my shed for Movies and Series

    Once my shed is rebuild (bricks and mortar), even the Pictures will go there.

    The point of offsite is: How far do you want to go? If mayor wildfires, floodings, hurricanes and tornadoes aren’t a thing. Or if you build houses that are not made of toothpicks where you live. 25m away, in a separate building is more than sufficient imo.

        Around 4TB

        I take a lot of pictures and tend to keep all the RAW files that are not absolute garbage or test shots. @40-50MB per piece, It goes pretty quick.

          Pushing 7TB here. Everything I’ve shot over the last 40 years, both on digital (RAW) and digitized film, plus the scanned slides of about 4 other people and my extensive historic slide/negative collection. I don’t ever trash anything, except for the rare instance that my shutter release gets hit accidentally and I get a burst of 15 out-of-focus boot pictures.

    Encrypted disk in my desk drawer at work. Contains everything apart from my movie collection. Many of my colleagues have now copied my approach.
