Buy two.

Do your back up from home.

Place one into the bank.

Month passes. Next backup from home. Return to bank. Swap backups.

You will have a 2 month backup on one drive, a 1 month backup on another and will always have one at the bank and one at home.
wtf good would that do... it's still a trip to the bank

You're the dickhead who wants to do an offsite backup at the bank.

I think what they are saying in short is deal with going to the bank or fork over the dough for online services, those are pretty much your options.

RAID =/= back-up. RAID is for up time (except 0 which is for speed) if you change a file on a RAID array the original is gone, your PSU frys your system the files are gone (there are plenty more examples but you get the idea)

Havent you guys heard of the 3-2-1 rule? Three copies, two different media storage types, one off site...

.. er something like that. I think that covers most things that can happen to you .. just short of nuclear holocaust.

What about investing in a fireproof safe to store the HDD in? Would save a trip to the bank every month

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

You do know what burglar-proof + fireproof safes cost right?

Not to mention a "fireproof" safe, is only fire-resistant up to a certain time, the longer the fire-safe-"safe-time" the more expensive the safe...

You can get non burglar proof safes?

A fireproof safe is not necessarily burglar proof...
