Just my photo library is over 1.5 TiB, there just not way to have long-term offline backups of that, you have no choice but to run and maintain a file server and cloud backups
- mrjin 4y ago1.5 TiB is not much really. Any mobile HDD will do. I've a whole bunch of them. Oldest were over a decade, no issues at all. The only issue is that they have to be labeled clearly, or you are going to have a hard time to find whereabouts.
- Double_a_92 4y agoYou do realize that HDDs can randomly break, right? To keep a proper backup you need to have multiple copies of all your data and also regularly access / copy it.
- kalleboo 4y agoI've had really bad luck with the reliability of mobile HDDs in storage. Try to use them after 3-4 years and they just die. Maybe I've just been unlucky?
