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?

    rsync by itself provides no encryption, and i wouldn’t use just rsync by itself. That’s probably what he meant.

    You should use something else with rsync that encrypts the data before uploading it to a server that you don’t own physically.

    Or use restic, which takes care of the uploading part too, so you can skip using rsync altogether.
