Thank you, it sounds great, I will look more into dar.
So excited to see it!
I'm thinking of going with the Phoenix DataCare 2001 which is indeed a fireproof media safe specifically for keeping hard drives, discs, etc. safe in a fire for over an hour. I hope I never need to test it, but of all the non-living things in our home we couldn't replace, it's our personal pictures, video, and business related data. Western Digital is having a sale on their drives today and I picked up (8) 16TB WD Pro Red NAS drives for $219 each. WD Red Pro (normally $289.99)
Thank you so much for all the information! I actually simply use rsync to synchronize all my data to whichever backup drive is connected. Are there benefits to using dar instead of rsync? I haven't used dar before. I also haven't dabbled in encrypting my backup... My concern with that would be the additional time it takes to encrypt everything, as well as my fear of losing the ability to decrypt it. I am mostly putting this out there to see if anyone has suggestions for different media I hadn't thought of, or if anyone sees any pitfalls in my plan I hadn't thought of. I'm planning on storing the enclosure in a phoenix datacare 2001 fireproof safe. It's supposed to be able to keep hard drives, CDs, tapes, etc. safe in a fire for over an hour.
