Blurays holding 30gb is overkill for most consumers, but is available and cheap. Usually a DVD does it for my family members requesting a backup.
I personally just keep around a couple drives and backup one to the other.
- mikeash 12y agoI'm surprised. It's pretty easy to rack up 8.5GB of data these days with ubiquitous smartphone cameras and such. I wouldn't expect even casual users to be able to fit into that much space anymore.
- bitJericho 12y agoI don't know what the average consumer racks up, but 180TB? Not in this lifetime :D A relative of mine recently needed 3 dvds to backups absolutely everything. She tends to delete what she doesn't want to keep though. Me personally, I have a few hundred gigs I'd like to never lose... 3 or 4 consumer grade blu-ray discs should do it...
