this needs to stop man
Did Google ever have a support department?
Also, one of many reasons i keep my backups in my own four walls. Granted, if everything burns down, it's gone. But in that case i'm going to have bigger problems than losing my data. Another alternative would be a portable disk locked away at the bank.
Don't rely on the data in a hard drive powered down for a long time being useable when you need it (mechanical or SSD, doesn't matter, both will get corrupted much faster than you'd expect).
You want long term storage, use tape (most optical disks ain't good either).
I’m too cheap for a safe deposit box, but I work in an office and keep a hard disk there. I have two identical ones. One at the office, one at home receiving backups. Every couple of months, swap them out.
off-site physical storage is good praxis
Also If my house burns down then where the hell else am I going fap to porn at? It's useless at that point.
