I have a 4 Tb disk in my main PC with every media on it. It's mirrored to a 1-disk local NAS. I rotate the disk on the NAS about once per week, putting the other disk in a big old safe that was already in the house when we moved in.

So at any one time there are almost complete 3 copies of everything.

There is no off-site backup. The safe is probably not super theft-resistant nowadays but it should provide some protection in case of fire.

I'm reaching near capacity on 4 Tb and don't exactly know where to go after that. I could upgrade all 3 disks to 6 or 8 Tb but I resent discarding the 3 4s that are in perfect condition. So IDK.
