Right now, I have around 20TB of data in redundant ZFS mirrors, so I am somewhat protected against any single drive failing. Critical data is backed up at various cloud providers, but that’s only a few gigs of all my data.
Looking at S3 pricing, It seems rather unfeasible to back up my data there or on the other “big” cloud providers, as it would cost me around $180 with AWS or half of that with backblaze.
How and where do you guys back up your data?
Apart from the few gigs of really private and self-made data, most of it would probably be replacable, it’s just a matter of how much work that would be. On the other hand, I wonder how much of my media collection I would actually miss were it to get lost.
I will look into AWS glacier, thank you.
My line of thinking is that radarr and sonarr are my backups. If the drives went boom then just have those two sync my library. It may take a couple weeks but I can live with that.
The egress fees from glacier are astronomical. So if you ever need them you might just decide it’s worth re-downloading. Last I checked Wasabi seemed a better option, but higher priced per month of course.
