yeah- thats a bit tough.
hehe, you could just move to tape LTO 6/8 - its rather unlikely for a lowly robber to extract LTO tapes.
Especially if you are just doing block, hit that shit with LUKS- and write the encrypted blocks to tape.
plus, tape tends to last a rather long time :)

maybe you could find a LTO(6|8) tape library on ebay or something. CC: @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org

@nate I super duper cannot afford tape. 😂 …Feels a little odd to say that. In the early '80s, it was disk that nobody could afford! Using LUKS with a backup drive is an interesting idea, but in this case that would be difficult. I would need to divide the drive into two partitions, because there are two different backups with two different keys on it, and I'm not thrilled at potentially running out of space because I sized the partitions wrong…
