Not something you want to test but hey they do come to you in a box and shippers have no mercy. Yea I guess that is kinda paranoid but since you can do it and it does not take much effort then why not. I don't know of anyone that stored photos offsite before we had digital. People did use bank boxes more though. I guess we still should but somehow I can't be bothered.
