Hey folks, being the family IT man I’ve held onto all of my families photos/videos over the last 20 years

I’ve been pretty careless with the backups and I know if I don’t do anything it’s only a matter of time before I lose them

Although I’ve never used them, tape drives seem to be the best so I thought I’d ask here if anyone uses them for their homelab?

It might be overkill for a few GB of photos but I’d also use the tape drives for data hoarding purposes so it’s a win win in my book

    The good ones… Are not cheap (if someone knows a cheap option though, I’d be happy to add it to my own repertoire!)

    For me, I backup with:

    • A second NAS
    • a clone to a NAS at two other homes (family), which also sync to mine
    • Encrypted backups to generic cloud storage
