I use Synology NASs (not in RAID) as short term, offline backup. Long term
backup is on DVD/BDR. I keep a catalog (titles,size,location) of local
drives, NASs and DVDs in case of failures.
Hard drives fail.

DVDs fail, less often, verify discs when writing.
Usenet is good for backup for the last 7 years ;-)

as long as you have multiple, maximum retention providers on different
backbones.
Just my 2c.
