I have about 8TB of storage that is currently only replicated through a raid array. I occasionally sync that to another USB drive and leave that in a fireproof safe (same location).

I’d really like to do an offsite backup, but I only have 10Mbps upload. We are literally talking months to do a full backup.

How do others handle situations like this?

    I’d love to know how to deal with this. Currently sitting on 12TB used. Decent upload but cloud storage for that much is expensive. I have 5 8TB HDDs, 2 of which act as redundancy in RAID6 config.

    One thought I had was convince a friend to setup the same, and dedicate half of each other’s storage as redundancy for the other person.

      Usually hosting servers offer some sort of dedicated storage for longterm/backup solutions which is different to cloud storage. It’s also alot cheaper. For example hetzner storage box
