We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

recommendation for solid backup for personal documents (very few photo/videos) (alien.top)

hi, I have ~1G of personal documents that include all documents that I wrote/edited since high school. Most of them are docx/pptx/txt/markdown/pdf, and mostly text with a small fraction of pictures. I wonder if there is a rock solid backup against almost all possible corrupt in my data files? There are not large files (very few photos/videos) so I do not mind using 10x storage space (with huge redundancy to protect against any corruption) to back up data. Any ideas?

Just back them up in multiple places. I’d suggest Backblaze for offsite storage; I use it to back up my important data.
