I have added the Cloud as backup, but everything loaded in a TrueCrypt container, with a strong password and key file (but keyfile stored on my NAS)
I have a pretty intense backup scheme I am just starting to use as I lost some data recently. Back up all files to an encrypted external hard-drive Backup Files again to an Encrypted CD/DVD Repeat 2 more times each Store the second copies off site (safety deposit box/Friends house) Store small data in the cloud in Truecrypt volumes. I have a minimum of 2 backups. One on site, one off site. Photos and small documents are stored in my Google Drive account in a TC Volume. The 100GB storage is only $4/month so I jumped on it just for this reason. DVDs are "archive" grade. Hard Drives that I keep on site are these ones: https://iosafe.com/products-soloG3-overview Having almost lost a few GB (around 20GB) of data makes you paranoid.
How reliable are those archival grade DVDs ? I've been tempted by those, could make 2 copies for the price of 1 years cloud hosting, which is my other option for making off site backups. Cheers, Nick
