Problems with not having any guarantee still occur, anyway. Storing in Amazon's Glacier archive storage would be about 1$/month, other locations are not much more expensive, either. Combining those with encryption will be easier to handle, more reliable and in the end safer. | |

To make it a bit more secure I though about encrypting it 2 times with different keys using different ciphers, I was thinking of using AES256 and TWOFISH, is this making it more secure? Or could I better use something else then TWOFISH? | |
