Hello!! Some recent technical problems on my family’s NAS gave me a big scare and finally pushed me to figure out a way to back it all up. I’m asking here specifically because I really don’t know where to even starts because of the fact I’ve got just under 50 terabytes worth of data stored in a 7-disk RAID-5 and would prefer to keep it cheap. What are your suggestions?

    I have 45TB of data and the majority of that is definitely downloaded media. They call us data hoarders for a reason.

      Oh sure I understand data hoarding. I was just thinking, to restore 50 tb from the internet is going to take more than a fortnight.

        It’s literally downloading the same amount of data you would be backing up, and you won’t be charged hourly for downloading it from the internet as opposed to a large storage service.
