re: #156 unproven innocence
Hard drives (1TB and larger) are pretty cheap, for entirely local backup. On the other hand, it could be hard to find a brand for which you can be confident that 3-letter agencies or others have not compromised the HD firmware —firmware that end-users have no hope of inspecting/checking/verifying.
Thanks for the reply. I work for a company where we are all dispersed over the US, so a cloud situ would be best I’m thinking.
