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?

      Aren’t magnetic forces a concern? Is it SSD or a standard drive?

        Not sure what kind of safetybox you got in your bank but over here they are just plain steel containers vary in size depending on what you pay. I got a couple of them though the service becomes less and less common over here. I don’t see how storing drives in there would be a risk, just a hassle to keep them up to date.

        Personally I just dropped a Synology at my parents place. They have a 1GB up/down line for watching her youtube video’s and every week of my critical data they receive a copy. Relatively low cost, low power and easy to use.
