[Novalug] secure storage

i'm thinking again about secure storage (banking records, receipts,
that sort of stuff).  i was curious about what you folks do.  i used to
have an encrypted image that i stored on my disk server and then exported
via NFS.  locally it was protected via normal unix DAC, but remotely it
was strongly encrypted.

well, i have a new NAS now... i'm quite happy with OpenMediaVault so
far, but i don't know what to do with my securte stuff.

i'm trying out spideroak right now and just using the cloud.  that seems
to be working, but i'm afraid that one cross command by myself or my wife
will delete all copies of an important file and poof, it's gone.  i could
do some backups of it, but that sort of defeats the purpose.

i could expose a disk image via NFS, but i have found that to be
problematic because multiple people can mount it at the same time.
alternatively, i can mount the disk and then export NFS and then i'm
in the same boat as i was in.  plus, my new NAS doesn't like doing that
sort of thing (no facilities for encryption).

anyone out there doing the same sort of thing?  got any ideas?
