Nah it is an encrypted 4 gig file that can only be mounted with veracrypt with a strong password.  I keep it on my local machine and it backs up to my server computer in the other room which has a Raid5 configuration in Ubuntu using openZFS.  I also encrypt that mount file with a different password with 7z and send backups to my brother every month over syncthing.  Overall, it is "safe", but it taking so long to open the wallet file had me worried.  It has over $5000 worth of bitcoin in it.

Side Question, any idea why it took Bitcoin Core so long to open the file?  It must have taken at least an hour...
