Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

For my 1 part of the 3-2-1 plan, I have an encrypted copy at my work, and I also ship an encrypted copy to a trusted friend.
My work copy I can always get in a few minutes, my friend is if something big happens locally.
I have 4 cold storage disk, 2 are rotated about every month. And the one that's with my friend is rotated once a year.
