I have an external disk that I store in a fire safe but never bother getting out so it is 6 months out of date. Up to June I have access to a server that I run a nightly rsync to to back all my work up but that server goes on June 1 so I'm looking to do something after that. I want to get the data off site somehow but just trying to decide how as it needs to be in a way where it just happens without me thinking about it.
