Those who keep another copy of their hard drive (or whatever other backup source) offsite, where is that? Your mommas house? A storage locker facility? At work?

I have offsite location as my cloud cloud backup. That’s basically, it.
Encrypted on Azure archive.
Onedrive for my documents but that is only up to 1 TB, and more for convenience as i have them available everywhere on all devices.
Pictures in the locker at work. = 8TB drive
HDDs in my shed for Movies and Series
Once my shed is rebuild (bricks and mortar), even the Pictures will go there.
The point of offsite is: How far do you want to go? If mayor wildfires, floodings, hurricanes and tornadoes aren’t a thing. Or if you build houses that are not made of toothpicks where you live. 25m away, in a separate building is more than sufficient imo.
you have close to 8tb worth of pictures? well i guess we are in r/Datahoarder
Around 4TB
I take a lot of pictures and tend to keep all the RAW files that are not absolute garbage or test shots. @40-50MB per piece, It goes pretty quick.
that like 100k pictures damn
Pushing 7TB here. Everything I’ve shot over the last 40 years, both on digital (RAW) and digitized film, plus the scanned slides of about 4 other people and my extensive historic slide/negative collection. I don’t ever trash anything, except for the rare instance that my shutter release gets hit accidentally and I get a burst of 15 out-of-focus boot pictures.
In a drawer at work.
Encrypted disk in my desk drawer at work. Contains everything apart from my movie collection. Many of my colleagues have now copied my approach.
One copy at my sisters house that is real-time sync. One offline copy at a friends house nearby
Nice try, FBI.
Not today, CIA.
Mommas and Granny’s house!
All encrypted with me holding the keys in separate locations.
A server at my workplace, on its own network with its own public static, so I can admin it separatly to the actual office network.
BackBlaze
Nice try FBI
40TB NAS in the comms cupboard at work with a 1G symmetrical line. Helps that I look after the network in the office.
Safe deposit box, 8TB external drive with encrypted backups of my NAS. Have the same drive locally too and swap them monthly. Current year and prior year folders also get cloud backed up to backblaze.
OneDrive and University server.
Mom’s house. Old pc with a bunch of big usb drives on a high shelf in her basement. Open vpn point to point vpn set up so she can use my nfs and I can send backups.
