We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

And this is why you make sure you have a working backup right now. Not next week. Not when you have some downtime to set them up. It is way too common that something like this happens right before you planned to back up everything.

321rule, automated, snapshotted. Cold backups on top for some edge cases.
