Gonna do a backup. So I have a NAS drive with two raid 1s, with my most important files on it. I’ll just do a snapshot and verify checksums while I’m doing it. And forget the cloud; I’ll leave the last copy in my cousin’s safe.

I want to put it in three places. It’s only like 4tb. What makes the most sense? I thought I’d keep working off the NAS, keep one portable HDD in my safe, and leave one portable HDD with my cousin. Does that make sense?

Looking at WD my passport ultra for the backups. Any other suggestions? Maybe one of them should be ruggedized, like a Lacie?
