Would you be interested in having your (most valuable) data on a blu-ray disk stored somewhere? How much would you pay per 25GB/year? Less than 1$, up to 5$? Or you are confident you already have relieable multi and offsite copies. Or you love the idea and gonna invest yourself in media and the burner to do it yourself.
It's not the cloud, it's not someone-else computer, it's just a blu-ray in someone else garage! You upload your encrypted image, we burn it and store it safely.
Recovery could be putting the data available for download or shipping the media physically (additional cost). #poll #survey #askgemini #backup #coldstorage

As another noted, Tarsnap is the best offsite storage solution. If Tarsnap loses your data, chances are the worlds been destroyed. Reasonably priced, very secure, and reliable off site backup. · 1 year ago
I would be skeptical of the durability of Bluray discs (haven't done any research though). Plus, I already have an offsite backup in the the vault of my bank, which is satisfactory for me. · 1 year ago
My most valuable data is not in a digital form, so i'd not pay a cent for someone storing it. 'Valuable' data I'd never ever give to someone else. · 1 year ago
FYI. There's a poll featrue on station.
I'll be happy to pay 20$ for 25G of cold bluray storage if it is a one off fee and maybe another 3$ for accessing it (since I assume you can't modify the content afterwards. A per-year cost sounds weird). Good for 10+ years, we could re-burn the disk with some fee and be able to access old disks after submiting new ones.
Also there's Tarsnap. Which is _very_ secure but runs on some server.
