I use M-Disc
Discussion
aren't those 50GB discs? How on earth are you making that scalable?
Everything I need to save, including all of my work, fits on less than 25GB. Oh... I have 2TB cloud storage and drives like yours that I replicate to for regular archives. Remember, I stick my work on Floppy PNGs. My 1000 page journal (if in PDF form) fits on about 44MB, which is roughly the same as all of my other work put together. 10GB of family pictures and such. 25GB is also my goal. I'll send them out at some point.
Nice. We are on similar paths/journeys. I am trying to consolidate down as small as possible vs. just continue to build and store. I'm also looking for elegant solutions for device/storage encryption without the need for software installation. Bitlocker, Picocrypt, and Veracrypt are what I'm currently playing with.
Have you ever used rsync with encfs? I found that combo fits quite a few use cases for backups w/ encryption. Personally, I only use that locally. I don't sync to cloud services with encfs, but just getting on to another local drive on the LAN via cron is great.
Yes, both - but oddly never in unison! Thank you!
The security flaws are a feature in this case (the encrypted file is identical each time, so it can facilitate incremental remote syncs, as you probably know). One thing I should add from experience: if you happen to try this, don't get fancy on the algorithm. There are incompatibilities with macOS at some levels, so test it. I do hub/spoke one-way, so there is little risk (my GNU/Linux box is the hub. I've been doing this over 15 years and never lost data.
I equipped my kids with tiny Sabrent Nano 1TB SSDs that are amazing for the price and size https://amzn.to/3Ls5swl
My hometown University developed the world's first 5D eternity memory crystal - capable of surviving for billions of years. The crystal storage allows unprecedented properties including 360 TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1,000°C and virtually unlimited lifetime at room temperature (13.8 billion years). #data #storage #backups
