Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I use Wasabi too, I was thinking about having another option with data spread across different devices, with extra devices for safety (like SIA). Thanks for your point of view and for the suggestions!
Multiple backups are good (really 2 is the minimum anyone should have). It's just the added complexity and overhead of distributed systems doesn't seem worth it to me, I have a local backup on a disk mirror in my NAS, and an online backup to B2 and that feels like good enough so far.
