Wow, that was a rabbit hole of information, links and ideas. Thanks a lot. I reached a point of what I would call “satisfaction” https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/selecting-storage-media.pdf was back linked by Nestor and it seems to give me an idea of what I’ll do next. Thanks again 👍

“The strength is in the diversity of the mediums” I like that. Should be part of the book of Zen for Backups. Thank you for your insights.

M-disk, never heard of that. I got a quick research done and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Interesting take on the test process. Never really thought of that. I just trusted in rsyncs error messages. Maybe I write a script to automate those checks. Thanks

Good advice. My off-site is my brother’s place.

Checked it out, thanks. I have to figure out, how it compares to my rsync Script

So you would suggest to get bigger and bigger storages?

I really like and can embrace the philosophical part. I do delete rigorously data. At the same time, i once had a data lost, because I was young and stupid and tried to install Suse without an backup. I still am sad to not to be able to look at the images of me and my family from this time. I do look at those pictures/videos/recordings from time to time. It gives me a nice feeling of nostalgia. Also grounds me and shows me how much have changed.

That is an always ON approach? For example with an NAS? While that is a very save approach, it does not fit the idea of having something “on the shelf”. Thank you for the advice though :)

Ugh, sounds icky. Thanks for the advice:)

I was 1/3 through and thought “again, a nice story.” Then my eyes popped out, when SHE was the legendary soldier! What a tragedy, when she succumbed to the vile forces, in my point of view she earned a statuen in a guildhall of hammer dwarfs.

Looking forward to the next chapter. Maybe a screenshot of the entrance would be nice. Rock and stone!

That was a good read! The water trap is inspiring. I am curious what’ll happen, when the girl is grown and about to unrevel the mysteries of her late father’s death. Will it be revenge?!

Yeah! With secret tunnels, bridges and water around! Now I got a plan for the next game :D

I had a ton of gold stuff : |

The trolls ate the sheriff first xD

What a hero! He did his duty, when the call for arms was given.

Did you find this in a lava cave? What a treasure!

Yes, it is a great tool. I tried it, but I don’t use it. As Gandalf told Frodo when he refused the ring, “Do not tempt me! I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe. Understand, Frodo, I would use this ring from a desire to do good, but through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.”
