How do you guys deal with this?

I have two USB HDDs, both 4 TB in size, so they can hold (most of) my data. They’re LUKS encrypted. One is located at a family member, the other one is with me at home. Every now and then, I copy everything to the disk at home and then drive over to family and swap the disks.

The obvious downside is that the backups aren’t really recent. They’re maybe a month old, or older. I hope that that’s still recent enough to regain access to most stuff.

(Also, I stuck a little note on paper to a mirror near my door. It lists the things that I should take with me in case of a fire. There’s a bag nearby where I can put this stuff into.)
