Hello Kevin,

I still like tapes--what happens when one of your first jobs was a backup 
operator--but I like hot, warm, and cold backups.  Right now I really don't 
have a full backup of the BBS though I could just clone it if need be.  When I 
can afford it, I'll use an AWS S3 instance (s3cmd is great to use; even works 
under ArcaOS!) along with local backups.

s3cmd is available in Arca's update manager as "s3cmd". You can read more 
about it at https://s3tools.org/s3cmd -- I recommend it.  Yes, it costs a 
little money but the peace of mind is nice to have.
