Long Term Storage Recommendations? - GoFuckYourself.com

SteveHardeman · 08-23-2014, 08:31 AM

I've got terabytes and terabytes of good, smutty porn along with ID's and contracts, etc. Around 10TB's which is probably not a lot for a lot of you but it's a lot for me.

I've got my own system of backup that I won't even discuss here because it's so terrible.

So, I'm looking for advice.

Anyone have a secure, efficient, cost-effective way of backing up around 10 TB's of date and care to share it with me?

I have a NAS that is running its own hybrid RAID, I have roughly 16 TB total storage that is all backed up. I'm not sure if this is a good long-term storage solution though, I have around $2000 invested in it. It's been quite safe so far, had to replace one hard drive and lost no data.

What about fire, water damage, earthquake or anything else?

Tape drives have the longest expected data survival rate.

They are selling 2TB drives at Radio Shack for around $100 a pop. I'm sure you could find them online at Tiger Direct maybe for less. That would be around $500 to store your shit.

The problem with cloud storage, or a dedicated server just for storage, is you have to upload ALL THAT SHIT, which could take days or weeks. And who knows how secure any of that is? Go for the external hard drives. Keep em dry, safe, etc. Then, in a couple years, go grab a 10TB drive for $99. LOL

TidalWave · 08-23-2014, 03:58 PM

Uh, make that $1000 (10x 2TB drives) plus a RAID10 solution (another $500+~)
Who in the right mind would keep backups on a single drive with no redundancy?

Having 10 x 1TB drives locked in a filing cabinet is the embarrassing solution I didn't want to talk about.

But, you're right, 5 x 2 TB drives locked in a filing cabinet in the same room as the drives hooked into my desktop is a much better solution.

How ya been, Mr. PBody? Hope you've been well.

They sell 5tb external drives now just your basic seagate stuff. I would get some redunacy still but at least drive sizes getting bigger

Barry-xlovecam · 08-24-2014, 09:04 AM

Pay someone to back it up to magnetic tape then store it in a fireproof box in a secure place. Or store the tapes in a bank's vault safety deposit box -- if is really worth something to you.

2. Duplicate it on 2 sets of hard drives stored in fireproof boxes in separate locations.

I use 3TB drives I duplicate each one and rotate them to offsite if one goes bad replace it

they are cheap I have 30TB (20 drives) and I store all my masters that used to be on tape, I store them in raw format and it gives me 2 copies of the raw footage one on site one offsite be sure to rotate them so you know if a drive goes bad

Do what I do: focus on the asshole. it won't turn you gay, promise. :D

NAS for me, then upload / sync to a dedicated storage server in a separate location.

Sly · 08-25-2014, 07:02 AM

Funny timing. I woke up this morning to a dead hard drive. Now I will swap in a new one and the system will rebuild the hard drive by itself.
