Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?

Put brand new drive into system, begin clone
When clone is done, pull drive out and place in a cardboard box
Take that box to my off-site storage (neighbors house) and bury it
(In truth I couldn’t afford to get to the 1 off-site in time and have potentially tragically lost almost 4TB of data that, while replacable, will take time because I don’t fucking remember what I even had lol. Gonna take the drives to a specialist tho cuz I think the plates are fine and it’s the actual reading mechanism that’s busted)

For this I use a python script to output an html directory file that lists all the folder contents and pushes it to my cloud storage. This way if I ever have a critical failure of replaceable media, I can just refer to my latest directory file.
