what I need to do for a backup of my studio hard drives with all my raw content from the past 22 years of filming
Currently I have 200TB locally here in Europe (on external drives)
I have duplicate external drives at my office in the USA, I have been syncing them using a vpn and a sync program for years.
BUT, this is becoming tedious, and i'm running into issues now with my RAW VR180 video files being like 250GB just one file, and my syncing software is fucking up
...so maybe you have some solution (I don't even know what to ask for specifically) ... I just want a cloud backup of my 200TB ... but this is COLD storage... I only need it, if one of my drives failshahere in Europe...
I probably should have said that first, I'm looking for a huge amount of cold storage - on tape is would assume... 2-3 months to recover a 16tb drive is ok for me, if something fails
I've searched and gotten a good idea of the cost of cold storage cloud storage - from amazon google etc... But I am hoping that just a tape system at mojo could be my solution
OR maybe just a tape system at my office in nebraska
