If you want the software-only version there's things like Storj, where your
data is stored on the spare hard drive space of random people who have signed
up to it, a.k.a. Airbnb for data.  So bits of your data will be on a gaming
machine in Kazakhstan, bits on a cash register in France, and bits on a Kodi
box in Peru.  What could possibly go wrong?
