[ale] 26G to backup

[Cameron Kilgore]

Heed extra caution to this if your means of backup includes an
internet-connect offsite backup (e.g. "the cloud") because you can't be
guaranteed that any provider will stay in business forever. Don't depend on
the cloud for backups unless you have a reliable local, external storage
method as well.

DLT is still pretty good from what i've seen and heard.
