Magnetic storage still rules all.

Get a tape backup system and be happy. I rotate three tapes between offsite, my safe, and an active one in the tape drive. Don’t overthink “offsite”, your work office is good enough. Or your parents house. Or your neighbor on the other side of the neighborhood.

Or backup once and throw the tape in the back of the closet. At least you can restore the magnetic backup. I would not be happy with the error rate of transcribing data from paper :-)




Very true! I have a friend with a tape backup system and it serves him well.
