  • My advice as someone who’s server is so large backups aren’t feasible at my price point. Ensure that things you care a lot about, photos, family videos, tax information, things that can’t be replaced have a proper 3-2-1 backup solution and test it periodically. Nothing worse that putting all that effort into a backup then not being able to recover.

    I do not recommend backing up media, like movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and music. Use a 2-1. Have two copies of the data with one offline. I have over 20Tb of high-res media and it would cost more than it’s worth to me to backup that stuff. So I don’t. I can just redownload The Lord of the Rings, I can’t redownload the video my parents took of me in a childhood school play.
