I spend my days maintaining a few years of data at work. Making sure it's backed up, always accessible.

I do not want to do that in my off time.

I know "do it locally" is often repeated here, but do you really expect a local solution to be able to get this kind of information and keep it safe, secure, and constantly working for this long? And how much time, money, and effort should you spend maintaining such a solution?

I have data in my Google account going back 10 years! That's impressive as hell!

I am the same poster who posted above (liking the data being there). I was just pointing out that is "is" possible to do it without google handling it.

Personally I actually do track some "hourly" data, maybe 2-3 hours in total to set it up and it's running for 2-3 years. I suppose you could add some time to run it through some encryption software and put it in Dropbox without too much of a hassle.
