Backing up my media collection on something like rsync.net? (self.piracy)

I have a couple of local copies of my media collection, but in case of my house burning down in a fire i would like to not have to rebuild my entire media collection. rsync.net offers some fairly reasonable storage prices (i guess there are many other good options as well).

Would you guys have any second thoughts on storing the entirety of your media collection on a remote server like that unencrypted?

At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)

Other options are to use "glacier" tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won't need that)

Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that

It is the value of my time i am concerned about not the files themselves. But i can see that there are cheaper options

Ill check that out :)

This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?

Debian on auto update with minimal packages lasts for years

Another option that I'm using is this:

I do a encrypted backup with Borg on a separate drive on my server
On my work desktop PC, Windows, at boot it connects via ssh and syncs that Borg backups on a new HDD that I purchased and installed, one way sync, silently and without prompts (We are a small business and I am allowed to do that, if you're not allowed to do that it could be your parents PC)
Success syncs are pinged to healthchecks.io which emails me if after too many days (configurable) the sync hasn't been completed
Errors are also sent to healthchecks.io
Company group policy settings then keeps my backup server automatically updated
