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?

This is great additional information, much of which I didn't know!

I'm doing the backing-up-twice thing; it'd probably be better if I backed up once and rsync'd - it'd be less computationally intensive and save disk space used by multiple restic caches. OTOH, it'd also have more moving parts and be harder to manage, and IME things that I touch rarely need to be as simple as possible because I forget how to use them in between uses.

Anyway, great response!
