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.
Build a NAS. If you’ve already got one, build a second one as backup. It’s cheaper in the long run than most cloud storage solutions. Especially when you factor in the time it would take for a complete restore.
The main issue with a NAS for this use case is the “what if my house burns down” scenario. Zero/ low effort off site backups are really important for treasured memories.
Also I believe that backblaze can do NAS backups now relatively affordably.
Last I looked it was .005 GB/Month. That adds up quickly when you have 30TB.
