I would recommend a good NAS for such storage needs. USB drives are probably the worst storage means, especially for large storage needs; and 8 TB is huge. A decent NAS has plenty of power these days, technology has improved a lot. There are different ways to backup a NAS and the great part is that they can be automated and running during the night. The first time you backup the entire 8 TB will take a long time but consecutive backups will be very fast. Rsync will be your friend. I always recommend ReadyNAS; they are packed with great features (such as fast and easy storage growth) and they provide great value for the money. If I were you I would have a look at the ReadyNAS 314.
