Fax machines. Phone lines are pretty private, and sending a fax is usually more secure than emailing something, especially if someone else manages your email.

I'd say vinyl. Looks like a thing from the 60s but it's still pretty relevant today

I want tot go one further and say music cassettes. Love their sound and way more compact than vinyl. Sadly, there's no good new hardware being made at the moment, although I really like my We Are Rewind player, it's far from HiFi.

Phones from 2000-2010. Linux/PostmarketOS allows you to run these as mini webservers with webcam's built-in (depending on chip support)
Also PostmarketOS are looking for a new name, so if you've got a suggestion put it here: https://nextcloud.postmarketos.org/apps/forms/s/cAYZZrCqLnrfMPEMAAonCWwx

Magnetic tape. It's one of the better long-term offline backup solutions. It is compact, inexpensive, has no moving parts (bearings, motors, reader heads), no scratchable surfaces, and can last for decades in a moderately climate-controlled room.
Just keep it away from magnets... or iron vaults. According to an anecdote (that I can't find right now), a large bank vault was repurposed as an offsite backup storage, except it kept wiping the magnetic tapes because the thick iron walls reacted to changes in the geomagnetic field.
