Seems that a wise investment would be a quality fire-resistant safe big
enough to hold a fire resistant lock box

Should he really be taking the data home?   That might be opening up a
different can of worms (the likelihood of his copy of the data getting lost
is significantly greater than of all your machines blowing up)

 

If he's so concerned, and you don't want to pay for services like Iron
Mountain (or their less expensive alternatives), then buy a tape drive for
him and make copies of the tapes -- encrypted copies.

But now we have nearly two terabytes of data. Tape drives go up to 1.7 T's,
but I can only find libraries going higher.

What other options do I have, so the VP can still take home a copy of the
data?

Extra HDs take so much time.
