I finally got the dreaded over storage warning from google today. What is everyone moving to these days? People were moving to dropbox advance but i heard its not really unlimited anymore. I have 30TB of data that can’t be reproduced (family videos and photos). Any recommendations? I prefer not to spend $100+ a month on backups but if i have to do it then i’ll do it.

    Ahh that makes sense. In that case I think AWS Glacier might be your cheapest option. (At least until you need to restore).

    Edit. That said a safety deposit box might still be an option if you vacation or visit a far away place somewhat regularly. Just update it every year or so. Keep changes waiting to be updated in a cloud backup. This way your not backing up and paying for 30 TB in the cloud but maybe 1-3TB of recent data that hasn’t been backup to the safety deposit box. That cloud backup size would get reset once you successfully update the safety deposit backups.

    I am not sure what the best option is software wise for actually accomplishing this world be. But something to think about.
