I’m talking like photos of important moments of your life, and perhaps deceased loved ones or deceased pets. Maybe favorite TV, Movies, Youtube videos, stuff that might be lost when you get released. Let’s say like 1-5 terabytes worth of stuff.

Hard Drives at home wouldn’t be an option, since they’d get confiscated. If you bury a hard drive in the woods, it could get corroded.

I was thinking foreign cloud, but then you wouldn’t be able to keep paying the subscription since they’d probably try to seize your assets.

“Lifetime” cloud plans are kinds shady, I’m not sure if I could trust them.

So… what are the options? (Hypothetically)

And yes, budget is a huge factor. A person facing persecution would not have billions to create a dedicated building to store an archive.

    Ten 2TB drives of different brands, wrapped up and glued into aitight containers. Hide sone in the woods, some at friends places if possible, and two in a bank vault (people had that back in the day, a sort of coffer in the bank, I don’t know if it exists any more). Two in a car that you put in a long time parking.

    Fun excercise :-)

      bank vault

      I think they’ll search your bank vaults for any anti government materials and seize it. Also that is still a subscription (you have to pay a yearly fee to keep the safe deposit box).

        Not if the vault is in Switzerland.
