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.

The main issue with a NAS for this use case is the "what if my house burns down" scenario. Zero/ low effort off site backups are really important for treasured memories.
I'm currently working on this problem. My plan is to use a Phoenix DataCare 2001 media firesafe to rotate a copy of my full backup. See my post for the discussion.
