Thank you for your response.

You made some strong points and I’m convinced that I need to have physical backups of my data (at least the important stuff).

Do you have some good recommendations for storage options? I have a few terabytes of data but might increase in the future (lots of 4k videos). I’ve thought of a NAS but they seem to be quite expensive most of the time. Are there any affordable ones?

I completely agree. I’ve used around 20 types of reminders and to do apps to get more productive. But I only do things when I put them up on my calendar. And if I cannot do them at the assigned time, I just move the event to another time and get it done then. Definitely doubled my productivity!

My assumption is that the cloud services I am paying for are making at least 2 backups of my data. Can someone provide a good example of why I should store data physically? (not opposed to it, just need a good reason to make the investment)
