You can always encrypt the data that you send to online storage.
The problem with online storage is cost. When you can buy a 1TB USB drive for under $100 you could easily encrypt that files on the USB drive and give it to a family member, put in the bank box, or take to work. The drive might not be as accessible as online but it would certainly be secure.
This discussion to get me thinking. I think with the XMAS sales about to start I will buy some archival quality DVDs and some more USB drives. I have been storing the DVDs offsite but I think I will take my own advice and store the USB drives offsite as well.
Later,
Dan
