Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I finally got the dreaded over storage warning from google today. What is everyone moving to these days? People were moving to dropbox advance but i heard its not really unlimited anymore. I have 30TB of data that can't be reproduced (family videos and photos). Any recommendations? I prefer not to spend $100+ a month on backups but if i have to do it then i'll do it.

if you backup locally so not over a network share you could use Backblazes Personal Backup ( https://hub.docker.com/r/tessypowder/backblaze-personal-wine ) it's like 8$ for unlimited backup

but they have some kind of tracking for blocking cifs/smb shares but you can circumvent that using dolany my current setup as my data is mainly just a Hetzner 20tb storage box I have a second windows VPS that mounts that CIFS storage using dokany und Just run backblaze Personal backup there was a real hassle to set up an the backup takes for ever but yeah it works

What you also might consider is re-encoding your stuff to use less space. Photos can be stored as lower quality jpgs and home movies can be reencoded as hevc. The latter can even be done automatically using something like tdarr.

I use AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive. 30 TB would cost you about $27 per month.

How much is it to retrieve the data if needed?
