I read we are expecting increased solar storm activity for 2012. I would like to prepare. What would be the best way to protect sensitive data on hard drives (backups and internal).

Would it be preferable to back up things on DVDs, or simply put the backup hard drives in a metal safe deposit box at the bank? You’d think those would be grounded enough but it would prevent nothing against neutrino or proton shower I guess… ???
