This is a good reminder for everyone. As far as storing things in a backup, if encryption and online accessability is a priority I highly recommend using Storj (both because I host data via storj and because I'm a believer in the technology.) Hopefully that doesnt come off as spammy, but it's what immediately popped into my head upon reading this. Upvoted and resteemed for good measure, as everyone can use a reminder of this.
Agree, $STORJ is an interesting progect. Have a little bag of $STORJ. Also consider similar projects as - $BURST and $SIA.
