Interesting question. My strategy for archival backups has been:

- local nas with decent redundancy

- a single external hard drive

- rclone everything to B2

so a lot of redundancy at relatively little cost. I have less than 100Tb but more than 20, so 100Gb would be too small..



The only thing I really want to back up are photos and documents and it’s probably < 200GB.

Anything else digital (like games, movies, music, books, …) I could buy again if I really wanted another copy.


Go for it. Perfect use case. But make sure to buy mdiscs, not just standard bdxl.

Much more expensive, but makes sense for that use case.
