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?

I have a 60TB media collection, so this would end up costing $600/month.

Instead, I back all my media up to LTO-6 tapes, and store them at a storage unit.

LTO-6 drive: $400 10x LTO-6 tapes (62.5TB): $200 Small off-site storage unit: $30/month

Thats pretty cool, never heard of those kinds of tapes. Im at somewhere between 5-10 TB myself. The cheapest storage units ive seen is about $90/month here so that would be a bit expensive, but there might be some smaller ones for item storage that i dont know about.
