When I figure the Risk of the house burning down I realise that I need off-site storage for my backups, mag tape and DVDs. Who am I going to trust? Iron Mountain, a corporation that might go bankrupt or is (potentially, as are all corporations) corruptible or could (silently, since it doesn't use 'canaries') roll over and surrender in bulk as a result of court order or presidential directive, or trust a bank for a safe deposit box?
Store your backup in a fire resistant (insulated) in the basement? Buried in the garden? If you have it, that is. You can even connect by cable to it without removing from the box :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
