What's the best long-term data backup solution?
Multiple copies.
Get bluray burner if you don't already have one. Purchase some BR "m discs".
Burn all the shit you want to save to the discs.
Buy a fireproof suitcase or safe.
Store them in there.
Done.
Upload to Google Drive
Tape drive

Multiple copies across different media in different locations.
Crystal etching
Storing it in an Iraqi library.

Just encrypt it famalan. And store the decryption program and OS with it.

Nah, considering every cryto-algorithm that is available to the public are all broken, Id rather not. Thanks though.

More like if you dont agree you are just simply naive/uneducated.

I'm not shilling for Google, dick-nose. I'm saying you're misusing the word "botnet". Maybe look up the fucking word and see for yourself.

redundancy != backup

That's ridiculous. You cant break math. If the algorithm is good enough all you need is an long password that makes cracking it unfeasible.

Who cares? Would you rather I call it skynet? Everyone understands what the meme means. In fact, if you look up words being misused often enough, they actually take the misused meaning. Merriam Webster added a bunch of slang words recently just like this.

Also, brute forcing isn't the only way to crack cryto, genius.
>>54445006
Yeah, but the seek times are trash.
>>54444056
Small home server with RAID1, running and connected separately from other electronics in your house and having it's own high-quality UPS.

>>54445019
Brute forcing is the only way if you only have access to the properly encrypted files and not any hardware. And the password is salted.
And I must have indeed missed the news all encryption is broken.
>>54445032
RAID is redundancy. As >>54444976 pointed out redundancy != backup. My data array is 2TB volume in RAID1. I also backup once a month to a separate external drive that has hardware encryption and BitLocker configured that I store at my office. Worse case scenario is someone breaks in and steals all my shit, at least my data backups are off site somewhere.
>>54445078
You surely must have. Not only that but when they were talking about elliptic curve crypto going to take the equivalent energy of boiling all of the water on earth to crack a 512bit key, and then like a couple months later some researchers used a small cluster of amazon ec2 servers and cracked one in like 10 minutes or something.
>>54445088
Well, there are no other ways to store your data developed except a bunch of drives. The only difference is where you keep those drives: at home, at your local data center or somewhere in the mexican data center; and how you organize those drives: either it's a huge raid1 massive with independent power source or you store a lot of copies in the different places. This thread itself is meaningless as there is nothing to discuss in terms of "solutions" but not the organization of specific scenario.
>>54444056
LTO or m-disc BD.
What the fuck are you guys storing where you need to be worried about the NSA breaking into it? I can understand wanting privacy but they're not gonna waste their time decrypting your drive for family photos.
>>54444811
This, pretty much. That and redundant backups of anything important.
This is my dillema, I have a 32TB raidz zfs NAS right now and I can't seem to back it all up.
I have backed up my critical to important files with an offline disk drive yet I still have shit tons of hoarded crap that will be gone forever if 2 of my drives die.
