At home an offsite backup is going to be best - the initial backup though, especially on a cable internet connection is going to take weeks.

Initially, I drove my HDDs offsite... and I keep another offsite backup in my car.


In the car is rather clever, I hadn't thought of doing that.

I've been maintaining an offsite at a friend's house that I rotate out whenever I visit. The car would be a good extra. Encryption required, but I'm already doing that.

I'd give them credit but I forgot where I got that idea from ;) but I don't even encrypt mine because it has a higher chance of recovery that way.


Are you not worried about the temperature variations?
