Backing up my media collection on something like rsync.net? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)

Other options are to use "glacier" tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won't need that)

Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that

It is the value of my time i am concerned about not the files themselves. But i can see that there are cheaper options

Ill check that out :)

This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?
