I create videos, and back up all of my raw footage. I make weekly videos, and the size ranges from 50GB up to 500GB or more. I have 105TB available, 90TB used at the moment. I also have a fully redundant set of another 105TB. My employer has unfortunately made it very easy to justify hoarding, as they’ll sell me reputable used commercial drives for $10/TB.
The video archives are 53TB
TubeArchivist is 19TB
Legally acquired movies and TV is 10TB
Immich is 2TB
Those are the main users of data. A bunch of other folders are using anywhere from a gig to 500GB, but those are basically rounding errors.
I have 120TB in a dell T630 at a condo i rent on the other side of the state… I replicate some Truenas volumes and proxmox backups to over VPN…an “in case the house burns down” kind of thing…
Yeah, I’ve considered doing that, but most of my media is static and doesn’t change and, with my upload speeds, would take literal days to sync. So I just have a set of HDDs that I keep across the state. I’ll loose some if everything fails, but at least I’ll have most of it.
I brought the two into the same room for the initial sync…then drove the T630 to the condo and hooked up, and it’s all incremental updates over the 1G VPN. :)
Yeah, I have 40Mbps uploads at my house, that’s the best I can get. I create anywhere from 100GB to 3TB of footage per week. On the high end, it’d take an entire week to sync, sucking up all of my upload bandwidth for that time, meaning I wouldn’t even be able to upload the videos I create to YouTube/PeerTube in a reasonable amount of time. When I get faster upload speeds I’ll definitely have to build a remote NAS for closer to real time backups.
I’m in Virginia - I love Washington state, spent some time in Issaquah a while back in the SeaTac area… But the last time we moved my wife told me in no uncertain terms “If you take another out of state job, you’re going alone.” (Too many years of travelling for work…)

Ask you’re employer if they’re hiring…or…you know…adopting. ;-)
Are you living in or willing to move to Spokane, WA? I will say, I might be bias, but it is nice here.

But I’m an awesome remote worker. ;-)
