Hello!! Some recent technical problems on my family’s NAS gave me a big scare and finally pushed me to figure out a way to back it all up. I’m asking here specifically because I really don’t know where to even starts because of the fact I’ve got just under 50 terabytes worth of data stored in a 7-disk RAID-5 and would prefer to keep it cheap. What are your suggestions?
Edit: thank you for all the suggestions, I’ll probably be considering using Backblaze for backups, or perhaps seeing if I can scrounge up old unused disks from people I know. Thank you all again <3
You can replicate across more than one provider and do automated regular monitoring that backups are still accessible.
If one goes down you hopefully have time to figure out a replacment before the other(s) do.
Probably not worth it for a bunch of xvid dvdrips or historical archives of full system-level backups but for critical data it’s sensible.
