My home files are not business critical infrastructure. I'm taking several steps further than any normie would take. Keeping two backups locally, confirming their byte content, sending a subset of the files to a cloud service.

To read your comments here it seems you think I'm extremely cavalier and reckless... Because I haven't recopied 14 TB back to their original locations to ensure that... What, copying the files works? Reading the full contents of each file and comparing to the original is somehow lacking? I don't have 14 TB in additional storage lying around to test that... Copying is a still a thing?

It's not like I lose a billion dollars if I lose some photos. Which again, I've gone to great lengths to keep safe.
