How do you handle backup? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm running my media server with a 36tb raid5 array with 3 disks, so I do have some resilience to drives failing. But currently can only afford to loose a single drive at a time, which got me thinking about backups. Normally I'd just do a backup to my NAS, but that quickly gets ridiculous for me with the size of my library, which is significantly larger than my NAS storage of only a few tb. And buying cloud storage is much too expensive for my liking with these amounts of storage.

Do you backup only the most valuable parts of your library?

Wait what!? I can backup my entire 36tb library for $10/month!?

I'd have to double check but I believe that only works on windows and I know for sure you can't use it for network shares. I have it on my windows desktop but wasn't able to backup my media server with it.

Doesn’t work for network shares as far as I can tell. At least not without some funky magic

Yeah

I mean... do the math and you can figure out by yourself that it's a fair price but in no way some sort of very convebient situation for the users. A 20tb hard drive goes for about 450€ and then you can consider the advantages that they have buying hdd at scale.

Aaand if they allow downloading select files, it's most probably not encrypted either.
