My Archives are in the Bank... Is your money in a Financial Institution? Or is it buried in your back yard?

This whole thread was ridiculous from the start. By the way, bank vaults don't prevent any digital storage device from failing on its own. Old dude s keeping it real. No storage system is fail safe.
My music lives in a cabinet next to my system ...the black licorice pizza cabinet.
The only suitable backup would be the same collection stored offsite in a bomb shelter.
I'll take my chances.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
...and I'm being ridiculous?
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
It's in a bank along with Photos, Financial Records, Gold Coins.... The Archives don't take hardly any room.
But I'm done trying to educate you... You are an 'Old Dude' and Out of Touch.
But like TV trivia, nothing useful.
I'm a guy who doesn't tie his shoes without a backup plan, but material possessions are just material possessions. If you can't eat it, live in it, wear it, if it isn't a blood relation or a living thing that depends on you for care and returns affection, then it isn't worth worrying about.

I maintain a copy of my NAS offsite at wifey's office at the university in addition to keeping two copies in a fire resistant safe.
And most certainly don't worry about loss. ;)
Which makes perfect sense. But nothing is impervious to failure. My daughter lost a substantial amount of her digital artwork do to three coincidental failures of two hard drives and the cloud back up. Shit happens
Thee of which are in a fire resistance pouch
and then in a fire resistant safe.
My music drives are a four drives stored the same way.
Losing family photos and your own digital artwork is one thing but losing a music collection is pretty low on the list IMHO. My music collection is available EVERYWHERE by just about EVERY streaming service. So what if I lose a few selections that aren't available via streaming?

In case of global catastrophe with no power, no internet, and no music I am teaching myself to whistle.
I have a backup of my music but in the grand scheme of things it is not important.
