It is just to back up files, so no point having some fancy system designed for constant uploading data, as in vid editing.

As said, get a few hard rives, and back stuff up..

Remember hard drives can fail It is why I would not opt for huge storage, but more smaller drives, that way, if one fails, you loose less data.

I still would love to know how long it would take to upload all that data you have to something online, as you must have a fast connection. It is my big problem in the UK uploading 4k vids as it takes ages.

In a few years they may have 500TB drives that cost next to nothing, and all you need do is get your drives and copy everything to it.

Do not forget it is only a few years ago when 1gb SD cards costs over $100. Today they sell 250GB SD cards for next to nothing.

The advantage of buying hard drives, is that you can buy them as you need them too, to save cash. As it will take some time to fill them with data.

One thing too, is question if you do need RAW files, or can you convert them to MP4 or something? As that will reduce the file size. It may be worth having both RAW and say MP4 versions, in case of a crash.
