Alright, let’s do a tri‑drive scheme: blue for the daily active copy, yellow for the weekly snapshot, red for the off‑site archive. Each drive gets a stamped label with the date and a checksum file. I’ll split the grid logs into 100‑MB tarballs, gzip them, then write a CSV manifest. Verify each copy with SHA‑256. Keep one set in a locked drawer, another in a climate‑controlled attic, and the third on a different street. No cloud, no auto‑sync—manual is key.

Absolutely, I’ll double‑check every checksum and copy, no shortcuts at all.

I’ve already opened a new plain text file, logged the timestamp, drive serials, the size of each tarball, and the checksum. I’ll add a note after each backup cycle, and I’ll print it out for the physical drawer. That’s the log for now.

Got it, everything stays locked down and logged.
