I finally got the dreaded over storage warning from google today. What is everyone moving to these days? People were moving to dropbox advance but i heard its not really unlimited anymore. I have 30TB of data that can’t be reproduced (family videos and photos). Any recommendations? I prefer not to spend $100+ a month on backups but if i have to do it then i’ll do it.

    Agreed with this one really. “3 copies of your data, in 2 physical locations, equals 1 backup” has been my thing for a long time.

    I used to just keep my third copy one a drive in my desk at the office, but I’ve been full remote for years now.

    Thanks for the reminder, I need to see if I can convince my folks to host a NAS in their hobby room or something.

      Thats what I ended up doing. I’ve been a photographer for years and have started digitizing old family videos and photos. 8tb or so of data is way too expensive to cover.

      So, nightly backups at home to storage and then replication to a nas at the rents via vpn.
