Hello,
I run a film business and I film hours and hours of footage a week. I have roughly over 1TB sometimes of one film project per month as I make documentaries. I also sometimes shoot in 4K.
I've tried Backblaze and other online backup solutions but here are my problems.
with Backblaze running for a month with the computer not going to sleep still has an estimated 100,000 files left to backup. Not a very good solution for my film business as I just keep adding more and more files. My fear is that if a hard drive fails backblaze wouldn't have backed up everything in time. I checked and so far it's only backed up 1TB out of 5 and it's been one month with the computer on 24/7 and without it going to sleep. I have sleep turned off. I also have 3 other drives with another 5 TB.
I can't afford 90 a month for larger storage for Google Drive and One Drive only limits it's storage to 1TB.
What do I do?
I've heard about M Discs but is that really a solution? I mean some people claim M Discs last 1,000 years but what if in like 20 years DVD drives don't exist? Also can any burner write to M Discs?
I've thought about off site storage but the problem with that is you either risk a fire or flood etc.
What exactly do I do here?
EDIT: I generally have anywhere from 500GB-800GB a day in video between me filming footage and also obtaining footage from other clients to edit. I also want to mention that Backblaze backs up on average 5GB per hour. My internet connection slow and I can't afford a faster connection due to where I live.
