Comment on What do people use for a shelf-stable backup

  Ah, a Kiwi. Say hello to your sheep’s from me. (Sorry,former WA resident here, couldn’t resist)

  But yeah, we are using exactly that model - and it’s currently only 20 NZD less from what I pay wholesale in Europe for it. So it seems like a pretty decent price.

  The drive itself is solid. We currently have around 10, maybe 15, at our clients and it works without any hassle.

  I personally recommend to store the disk’s offsite(I store them in a locked box in a bank vault) and some of my clients choose to store another drive there to be extra safe,but I personally don’t see the point.

    Sweet, thanks, I think that’s a good plan. I am thinking duplicate disks, one on site one off site. I do have a cloud backup, but if I die in a house fire then having the offsite disks is a much better solution than the random B2 bucket.

    Thanks for the help 🙂

      Yeah, that’s sounds solid. Just make sure your next of kin know where to look and that there is something to look for.
