It has to be asked... Whilst you're off your tits on morphine... How much for your old setup? :-X :P :D

PMSL  ;D ;D ;D

I'll PM you so it doesn't turn in to a For Sale thread, but I think you'll find my asking price is VERY reasonable  ;)

The likes of NASA don't require that level of storage!  ;D

I'll stick to 'The Cloud' for backing up my measly ~580MB of 'necessary' data.  The rest can get lost if it has to.

31TB?  What on earth are you storing?.... or is it The Earth:o

I find the problem is backing it up, esp as I can't afford the latest and greatest tape drives, so stuck with a first gen LTO.

Make sure you keep your backups someone distant from your originals.  Like your car boot or even garden shed ;D ;D ;D

You then may also need to encrypt them in case of theft.
As recently brought home to me during the garage incident.  At the point that we thought the house was going to catch, it dawned on me that my tape backups were right next to the server they were protecting, hence I was in the road via a mobile, trying to decide which files I wanted to keep and upload elsewhere, with everythign else going on :(

My neighbour, who's PC was in his garage, backed up to an external HDD, also kept in the garage. We found both the PC and external HDD, but they're toast  :'(
