Gron Arthur,

   If my house and all around it is utterly destroyed, I lose all my data.  Short of that, I should be okay.  I could stores my backup Blu-Rays in a bank vault.  It is too bad the local bank brances are not open.

   How about switching between a pair of 4TB USB drives?   They live at the alternate location.  One comes home to do the backup.  The other stays in the outside place.
