I use 2 ZFS mirrored 4TB drives mounted on a USB C dual bay device (iDsonix brand) for backing up my ZFS pools. I have a simple script that imports the backup pool and sends snapshots from my main ZFS pools to the backup pool.

My question: How do you safely store your physical backup drives/devices?

I have a fireproof box, but I don't think it was made for safely storing electronics in the event of a fire.

To be clear I meant the drives backing up the NAS, not the actual NAS.

I think backing up online ultimately is the safest choice, and it takes getting comfortable doing that and being okay with paying a fee. This is for data that I can't lose, like family photos, etc.

I started looking into using rclone directly from my FreeBSD NAS device. rclone seems to support many providers.
