So, how do you do it?
I currently have 3 old external hdds for a total of 6tb. I'm aware this is a disaster waiting to happen. What do you think is the most efficient way to store data for "long" periods of time?
Paint the bits on a cave wall like the prehistorical people did. Your data will be safe for thousands of years!!
Or maybe burn the data onto blurays or dvds and store them in airtight bags.
Cloud storage is an option, too.
I think the abswer is redundancy.
I have my bulk files in my server which has an automatic back up as well as the having drives in a raid configuration. I also have external drives which I back he'd at a on to monthly, flash zip sticks with the more important data, and blu rays with the most crucial data on them.

>I think the answer is redundancy.
You can say that again.
But you need to diversify your redundancy.
I saw a RAID array crippled by the failure of disks that were all from the same faulty batch.
Eggs, basket, you know.

4chan - literally only good for laughs.

AES encrypted cloud storage for me. Specifically Amazon Cloud
I do this too and it's a pain. I don't want to use really high capacity hard drives in case of failure.

backblaze or crashplan is like $5/mo for unlimited storage catch is the data has to be connected to your system

Nås with data redundancy

i squeeze my nuts and wish three times
i don't back up my data
i have never backed up my data
i have never had a data loss

you never had your data
