I used to do all the stuff (and more) suggested by others.
I also worked for some very uptight people in the tech world.
Lots of badges an other stuff.

I know there's always somebody out there selling you on the idea you need to do more.
I think you need to do as little as possible. Your data is not that important to others.
All you really want is an easy reliable backup copy. I believe I figured that out.

I store all my biab (and daw) stuff in the cloud as part of my workflow.
Once or twice a year I copy the cloud stuff to a local drive. Sometimes more often.
Trust, but verify.

Cloud people are very good at data management.
Better than you or I, probably better than anyone on this forum.
I choose to Leave it to the pros. You may do otherwise.

I use no spinning drives anywhere anymore. All ssd's.

10 years into this stratedgerie i have encountered zero problems. Its very little work on my part.
A directory full of biab sgu's is pretty small to begin with, compared to audio files (flac,wav, etc)

I know, the world could end tomorrow and my data would evaporate.
Or someone could make off with my lifes work....

I used to work for those guys.... They don't want anything your or I have.
