I'm literally looking at six 8TB hard drives sitting next to my laptop. Most are more than half full, some almost completely. Keeping three copies total would probably cost me another $2400, at $200 a drive.
Can you believe i also have a 4TB portable drive completely filled up with just my audio recordings? And a 2TB portable drive of just hi-resolution vinyl rips?
My two biggest concerns at the moment is
1) poor organization/labeling of my 10-years-worth of concert sources, especially when I was using a main as well as backup recorder at shows (no solution, really, other than to go through everything slowly and sort/label the keepers and delete the dupes) and
2) how to back up so much data. Tape? Some kind of optical storage I don't know about? Clay tablets?
Any wisdom or humorous thoughts are welcome.
