Keeping records in "the cloud"

    Hello everyone,

    Our museum keeps four copies of our catalog/accession records: one set on paper in filing cabinets in our office, one set in a safe at our museum, one set on the computer on FileMaker, and one set off-location in a bank safe deposit box. I've also recently begun saving them on our office-shared network server. The issue that we've recently run into is that our bank got rid of all their safety deposit boxes, and other banks in the area have followed suit. I've been thinking about switching to cloud-based storage for our off-site storage and was wondering if anyone already does this, and if so, do you have any recommendations? I don't know where to start or where to look. Any information is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
