External HD then convert to AVI and burn to DVD for archival\back-up purposes.

say what you must about AVI, but this doesn't mean i delete it off my HD which i keep them in mkv format.

>Backing up your illegaly downloaded chinese cartoons

I screenshot every frame, resize, and save on a floppy.

I have all my anime on tape.

I actually have over 100 onedrive accounts.

Each contains a compressed season of anime(one series per account; they're Jews with their file limits).

>>121974723
I don't.

I film my chinese cartoon with my cellphone camera as it plays and then upload that shit on the cloud

I trace every single frame on white paper. It would be too expensive to color everything so I just use the same pencil to grayscale the whole thing.

I normally delete a show after I've watched it. I keep favourites, but most of the time I'm unlikely to ever want to watch a series again.

>>121975462

I delete most everything after a single viewing. If I want a screenshot, i'll download the episode.

>>121976141
How much does that save per episode? 1MB?

>>121976208
Probably 10-30, if I had to guess.

I se streaming sites and online readers like the massive faggot I am, I never download anything because that's a waste of time. If I can simply with 2 clicks enjoy something instead of downloading it, I'm okay with it.

>>121976141

This is all fine and good, but do you never get the urge to watch things on the go?
I know it's dangerous for little girls to travel, but say you're on a big bus and alone in the back. You've got two hours left and you feel wide awake. You've got a laptop, but no internet: what do you do?

I have my mangas in a box. If fire comes my mangas may get destroyed.

>>121976421
i would play a VN

>>121974723
I have a 2TB, a 750GB and 500GB.
The 2TB is for anime that isn't recent (pre-winter 2012 since that's when I started watching airing anime) the 750GB is for recent stuff + music, eroge,etc and the 500GB is for backing up stuff I need to have at least two (actually three if you include my local hdd) copies of.

>>121976208
>>121976290
it saves roughly 1% of every file, worth it in the long run

>>121976417
Why if it's purely for archival\back-up purposes?

I have backups of every media from anime, movies, tv whatever on external drives, but most kept on 3tb hdds in my computer.
I keep a spreadsheet of my library and keep track of information like date last read/watched, episode/chapter and whatever.
That's my last defense though, if I lost that and my drives failed, I'd have no idea where to begin rebuilding.

Been buying internal and external drives for many years. Seagates I really wouldn't trust. With WD externals, if they go, it's usually just the board / power so you can still grab the data. Seagates haven't seemed to last much longer than their warranty, and they aren't any quieter than WDs.

On my computer. I haven't watched them, as this archive is only stuff I've finished.

Why not put the ones from the same series into separate folders?
Makes more sense than having 3 from Initial D and 6 from Hidamari cluttering up the same folder.

>>121974723
I record everything I've seen on my MAL account because playing MMOs for 10+ years left me mentally scarred and I release dopamine whenever I finish a show and add another completed show on my list.

I don't archive or back up my anime because I have access to the fucking internet. It's not going to go away any time soon, and if it does go away, it will probably be a result of some societal breakdown and if that happens, I'd have bigger problems to worry about that my Chinese cartoon archive.

The only things I keep on my HDD is my backlog, and I usually keep anime there for six months max. If I haven't seen it in that time period, I probably never will so I just delete it. It's a nice way to motivate myself to watch it and to keep my HDDs from getting full of garbage that would just sit there for years.

>>121977355
a lot more efficient to get a dock+drives than multiple externals especially when doing archive stuff

>>121977532
in retail stores some externals are actually sold below MSRP as deals. It can be cheaper to buy externals and extract the drives than buying bulkware.

>>121977474
I want to make use of the icons I have for each season. Only time I combine seasons is when the show was split cour like in Valvrave or Fate/Zero.
>>121977532
I got a good deal on the external ($50 for 1TB), and I thought it would take more time to fill it up. I plan to buy a dedicated HDD for archiving in the future but having it on an external is nice as I can hook it up to my laptop and watch stuff on the TV in the living room.

That one thread notwithstanding, this is just confirmation bias by butthurt newfags or cancerous shitposters.

A /v/ermin goes to /a/ and makes a thread about how amazing Cowboy Bebop is and how they don't make great anime like that and gets laughed at and his thread gets deleted. He goes back to /v/, mad, makes a thread about Cowboy Bebop there, and all the other /v/ermin join in and talk about how amazing Cowboy Bebop is and how they all have better taste in anime than /a/ does.

Or a /pol/luter goes to /lit/ and tries to make an intellectual philosophical thread about, say, Ayn Rand, like a billion other /pol/luters did before him, /lit/ shits on him, and he goes back to his hugbox board and talks to other /pol/luters how /pol/ is a billion times better /lit/ than /lit/ is.

It's almost always cases like this. People with little knowledge of a subject have entry level, pop opinions on a subject and when confronted by people who have actually talked about it a bit more, get mad since these people obviously do not agree with their common knowledge, so they go back to where they came from and talk to other people like themselves, who all share the same opinion, so they circlejerk about how better they are at X than X board.

I mean, in some cases, the X board is the worst board for discussing X subject (e.g. /v/ for video games), but more often than not, this "meme" is just angry idiots consoling other angry idiots.

>>121978118

ok, im sorry, pls dont hurt me

I had an uncle who must have really bought into the LaserDisc craze. When he passed my family got his equipment which includes a high quality player and a writer/burner and a couple crates/boxes of unused discs.
It's not too bad actually picture quality is good, you also don't have to flip the disc like with movies since anime eps are short.

>>121980136
the problem with them is that they use a proprietary backup solution. no public apis where you could just dump some encrypted ZFS export or anything like that. and windows/mac only.

Awesome pricing, but not very fileserver-friendly.

I built a FreeNAS server with 4 x 3 TB drives runing RAIDZ. Also installed Plex so I can stream my collection when I'm away from home and feel like watching something.

I bought one external and it died so quick I stopped giving a fuck about storing anime. I watch it once and then delete it. If it's good enough to want to keep on my PC forever I just buy it and get some cool merchandise instead.

Why would you ever need to do that for anime? Just put it in a RAID 6 array and save your money.

Triplicate copies only makes sense for really sensitive data, not muh animu. For that RAID Z or 6 (if you want a more conservative solution)

I don't. Other people do it. And you help them store content by seeding the torrents.

So remember people: Seed until you're at least 1:1 ratio.

You would be surprised at how many shows from back in 2008 just aren't there anymore, not on bots, not on torrents, not in stores. Mind you, I was burning shit up on DVDs then, and I don't even dare trying if those discs still even bloody work. And if they do, the stuff is like, 176MB xvid/mp3 avi episodes, the size of a postage stamp. Bloody anime for ants. Still, my nearly a decade old stash of about 200 DVDs is kinda "nostalgia". Back then, someone made me a gift of a 100 recordables, I still have to use it up, which is hard because I CBA.

Other than that, I have 0.5TB of what I call "keep 'em" shows (which I have backed up on same-size external, so I can always free up space by dumping them off internal storage).

I also use about 0.4TB of interim space, both reserved inside and on a small, old external which I use for random backup. That's where the current shows go.

Most shows start in interim, languish there for 6-12 months, while I ask myself a question "do you EVER want to see that show again?". For most shows, the "NO" comes sooner or later, and I delete them. If something makes me feel it's worth keeping and may not be available, I may dip into that stash of ancient DVDs and burn it. And very rarely, something might earn a spot on the "keep 'em" drive.

I don't expect to run out of space anytime soon.

>>121982024
download ≠ backup, idiot.

Idiots, just open your shit in notepad, copy/paste into wordpad, save as .txt,, compress into a RAR and now all your shit is in kilobytes of text

Two big things kill drives: Bad power and manufacturing defects.

Bad power will fuck up both drives in a raid array.
Manufacturing defects tend to come in lots. If you have two identical drives you bought at the same time from the same place, in all likelyhood they will fail within two weeks of one another.

Raid is not a backup solution.

>How does /a/ archive and backup her anime and manga?

I don't because External HD's are expensive as fuck. If the anime was good enough that I think I'd eventually wanna rewatch it (literally never) I'd just keep it and delete everything else.

>>121986306
>Bad power will fuck up both drives in a raid array.
Usually only the PCB, sometimes preamp. Those are relatively easy fixes provided you have a compatible donor PCB. The data is still working.

You can't account for all kinds of hardware failure, but having a RAID1 which will let you recover an exact copy when one drive fails or a RAID5 which lets you use parity to account for a stale drive in the occasion one drops out is the best you're going to get outside of using some pretty complex solution like tape archive.

Holly shit. The noise must be unbearable.

Even with two HDDs I already have complains.

>>121986569
This is fine in a large scale deployment where there is a large enough number of drives the ups and downs happen frequently and matching pairs aren't really pairs by serial number, but it's fucking useless for regular joe and his one computer. NAS, a usb/esata external, or a backup server are much more suited to the task and much less risky.

/g/entooman here. Hitachi HDs have the best reliability, but they are also more expensive. Do not buy WD greens. They have this thing where the read/write head goes from active to rest a million times a day to save power, which murders durability.

Also my setup is pic related. HDD just came in the mail today. $350 in hardware dedicated to downloading and storing chinese cartoons. Am I doing this right?

>>121986762

Well, now it does. It was good before, but there still better alternatives available even if you're still using an older version,

>>121986826
There are no good torrent clients for Windows.

>>121986906
Tell me which ones and what do they do better then? Because I honestly don't fucking give a shit, especially about someone's autism on an image board about fucking torrent clients. I'm still using 2.2.1 and have been using it since forever, I'm not gonna change because anon on /ag/ said so, and provided no fucking reasons.

>>121986727
>NAS[...]backup server
But it depends on what configuration those are running too, really. At the end of the day, it's going to be a moot point if those solutions are ALSO using a dodgy configuration and/or there's the chance of those failing in certain ways too. And if you're using the NAS with a solution where there's no redundancy/duplication losing one drive has the potential to lose you an entire drive's worth of data anyway.

I'd say that I've had better experiences with flash storage for reliability, but my M500 malfunctioned with a TRIM glitch last week.
