I have short films, projects that never got made, personal photos, ones of friends, clients, old family ones … i do some writing and store different documents. I want to have a Mari Kundo type hard drive.

Do you guys have any tips? Or some industry standard I’m not aware of?

    The rule of thumb for backup is min. 3 copies and at least 1 of thoes that is off site.

    And a raid does not count as a backup as others have stated, that’s just redundancy for 1 copy to keep you going really… good for a NAS (1 copy), then your working PC (2nd copy) and a off site copy (makes 3). Optimally one is a cold storage ie. not connected unless backing up to it, which can be the off site or 4th copy.

    Then you should hopefully be safe!
