I’d freak out if a friend came to me with a disk and told me to keep it safe.

Imagining someday I go on vacation and valuables are stolen, including that disk. Now that friend’s supposedly personal data is compromised, as of course they would set a lower protection on something that is supposed to be used during emergencies.

Same if the disk gets corrupted because we didn’t realize it’s stored next to the fan, and 2 years were enough to have an impact.

Or we lose it when moving but nobody realizes the loss.

So many weird scenarios, I’d feel more confident if they gave me their kid to raise for 5 years.
