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.
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.
