There are virtues in being paranoid, in being suspicious, in anxiety.
You don't lose a lot of stuff.
The real trick is striking a balance, where you can be comfortable,
and have security as well.
I find that redundancy is the key.
Not just 1 external drive, but two or more.
Not just a house firebox safe, but a safety deposit box also.
Not some questionable cheap or even "free" online storage
facility, but one that is run by a business, and backs up
its depots with parallel depots.

For once I can agree with everything you say... just because you're paranoid doesn't mean "they" (and/or the world) aren't out to get you...
And multiple backups, of anything you are attached to, is never a mistake...
