That is my intention, hence the intention to purchase 256G drives rather
than anything larger

That is an interesting point, though, as I stated in my later post, files
are copied to all my RISCOS machines.

The only non RISCOS generated files I have, are photographs, which are
stored on one of the hard drives of my wife's PC, backed up to the NAS,
subsequently to a 4TB portable drive, and the original SSD cards are also
kept.

In my case, the obvious place would be my shed, which is around 30ft from
the house, insulated and heated. When back ups were smaller and I used CDs
and later DVDs, they were kept in "lock n lock" plastic boxes, in there.
