Data storage/backup suggestions welcome [View all]

I have a rather convoluted system for storing my data and its time for something better.

I have data on few hundred DVDs and some external drives. Some of the files are stored on both for redundancy, but many are only on one or the other. This proved to be a problem recently when a drive died.

So, I'm looking at dealing with a minimum of 6TB of data with room to grow. Because the volume (and slow internet here), the cloud isn't really an option. Any preferences out there?



help...
