I'm not particularly advocating this, but if you do go for the cloud option,
the big 3 cloud providers all have services where they

per year). If there's some 'fair use' policy that doesn't let you store 16 TB,

Hi,
I just use HDDs. I make at least 2 copies of everything, and keep an
index of what has been stored on each HDD. So I know what to redo if a

Hi all
I'll spare you all the detail but I need to backup 16Tb to some sort of
archive - i.e. unlikely to ever need it in a hurry. I know 16Tb is a lot

tell me if there's an option I'm missing:
