Would you consider a detached garage as offsite for backup? (old.reddit.com)

Assuming the garage is in a good operating temperature for a small Nas.

I want to put a backup Nas in my garage, for my offsite backup for 321.

It is about 15 feet from the house and totally detached.

I wouldn't count on it for most elemental damage, for example flooding and lightning could hit both even if separated by 5m of air. Could survive a fire if your garage is built to not catch fire when embers from a house fire land on/in it.
