        Buy an old PC and setup a NAS with RAID redundancy.

        Who the fuck uses thumb drives for anything important.

        Have you considered something like a solid state drive made by a reputable manufacturer? I have a couple 1tb HDDs that are at least a decade old and still going strong.

          Unless the data is backed up on a second source, it’s only a matter of time before it’s gone.

        Grab two large USB hard drives, have an rsync job to them, switch them out weekly and store the one that is not in use offsite. If you don’t have someone that’s a trustworthy a reasonable distance away, you can just use a storage locker.
