Many people get a false sense of security from digitization. Ideally use a 3-2-1 backup strategy and test your backups by periodically stimulating a recovery situation.
I'm gonna sound whiny but this is so LONG and expensive though. Like not only do I need to shell out for the actual storage, I have to shell out 2 - 3 x that which will have no other purpose than to mirror the first? And then you gotta find more storage to test recovery on? And it's likely a significant amount of data so it'll take ages to download. There has to be an easier way.
I like to think they meant she is 'too stupid to be allowed to watch news unsupervised' but decided to go with 'silly.'
