Title: What Is Your Offsite Storage Solution?

We're talking data here, not your funky old couch and cassette collection.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols is reviewing[1] six solutions for stuffing all your
data in the cloud [1]. He reviews Amazon CloudDrive, Box, Dropbox,
GoogleDrive, OneDrive, and SpiderOak. He then concludes, lamely , "I can't
tell you what the perfect cloud storage is because there's no such thing. It
all depends on your needs."OK, so the article was clickbait, and I'll stick
with my current back-up solution: burning lots of DVDs, labelling, and then
mailing them offsite in case my house burns down. I'm guessing the Pipedot
community can do better: what offsite services do you use and recommend? Any
providers you'd avoid? What's the best option for a small business hoping to
maintain access to docs from different locations and systems? What's the best
option for a homebody nerd making sure his carefully curated collection of ..
um .. downloaded images stays backed up in case of catastrophic hardware
failures at home?[1]Footnote: Interesting article, but also a test of whether
you have successfully installed this browser plug-in[2] .
