For me I used the cloud as my offsite backup but it’s only the most important stuff and it’s scattered between several Gmail accounts iCloud and OneDrive. Working on consolidation but right now it’s backed up somewhere other than my server. Back when I first started my data hoarding journey I only had a single harddrive and my old computer. Important stuff was already saved to the cloud so all I did was download it onto the drive. I still primarily save anything important in the cloud first but it’s all synced with my server too.

Carrier definitely messed with it. They know exactly what’s in your package from Apple.

Only when children break into the server room.
