Hi everyone. I'm still thinking through my long-term backup plan for my larger repository of data but first I want to back up the most important things. The documents that cannot be lost in a fire.

  • Family documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates and other official documents.
  • Financial documents: mortgages, loan, contracts, title deeds
  • Keys: Password manager backup, encryption keys, 2FA recovery codes
  • Config files for various applications

I don't anticipate all this taking more than a few gigs and I want to make sure all this stuff is secure while I figure out how to back up priority 2 things like media. I anticipate treating this as cold storage.

My questions are:

  • What physical mediums should I use. I thought SD or Flash Drive would do the trick but you all recommend against that.
  • What cloud options would one consider.

TIA
