Re:Ask HN: What's a reliable long-term personal storage medium? by hashtree on Sunday September 01, 2013 @06:19PM (#6312402)
Hmm... I should reframe this. I just noted it says personal. I didn't see the qualifier, ignore my previous post as it is for my actual business data (e.g. huge persisted data stores, logs, etc).

Personal looks like:

  - Two or more personal computers (e.g. iMac and MBA) with SpiderOak syncing between.
  - Once weekly I backup to disk (basic rsync), take said disk to safety deposit
  box (as mentioned above), trade it out with another with the previous weeks data.
  This makes sense for me (over AWS) for the amount of data I have,
  the fact I do this anyways for my business, and that I do not trust most services
  with my data.
  - More recently, I've been doing a year-end permanent archive to disk going back
  2 to 3 years.
