how about a fire proof lock box at a friend or family members home. You could offer to do an exchange and keep one for them as well, under the heading of protecting backup copies of computer files from fire. In the long run it would be less expensive I think and Your retrieving the files to "update" them would be a built in occurrence.

Years ago I did something like this with a video inventory of my home contents. Might be worth doing this again with such things as copies of photos, important papers and alike. I am in the process of going through the workbook "Before It's Too Late" detailing things my Executor will need so this might be a good idea to make a copy on a thumb drive or CD and put in another location as well.
