Data protection is a big concern. Is that something you have in your setup?
I run nightly archiving backups using Borg Backup.
It's compression + de-duplication algorithms have me able to store 18 historical backups of about 422gb ea, in only 367gb of disk space.
That then gets mirrored to a cold storage drive manually every few months.
Ooh so I could do this to my media library?
If you want and have somewhere to store it.
I'm not all that concerned about the media drives; I don't have a spare 30tb to stuff that backup in, and that can be re-acquired if push comes to shove. I tend to just backup metadata + server config/database files along with everything in /home, /root, and /var.
Unfortunately not in my setup, but that's just because I don't have the money to upgrade it at the moment and nearly everything I have is stuff I can easily redownload.
Once I can save up for it I will up my storage and get some back ups set up.
