I've got about 10TB of data on a NAS and I want to put that on an off-site backup.

So I was thinking about buying an 18TB HDD like a Seagate Ironwolf, storing data onto it, and just leaving it in a sealed box with desiccant offsite.

Are there any best-practices I should periodically follow to keep the data on this disk fresh and to prevent bit rot? Like maybe once every couple of years copy all the data off it and back on it?
