Back before phones we had things like fire safes that would hold your "precious memories" so when your house burned down you wouldn't lose them. That is so much harder to do these days.
One of the things I do is periodically spool off ephemeral data to BD-R's (write once Blu-Ray disks). At 25GB a pop they aren't super dense but I don't actually generate more 'new' data than that in a given month. It was something I do because when I started in this business I made backups because crappy disk drives would lose data. But these days you can get crypto ransomed and poof all that data unavailable?
There is no doubt a market for some new 'best practices' for data security. Perhaps No Starch Press will get someone to collect those ideas into a book.
