          If it all goes Pete Tongue, you can always get a job at the local recycling centre. I think they have the same issues you have, sorting the quality from the junk.

          I recommend some sort of filter to reduce your storage requirements. There are actually only about a dozen sites on the internet worth bothering about. The task you have is finding them amongst the billions of pages of useless blogs and adverts.
          Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

            5 TB of daily raw data gets compressed to around 40 GB, but what I do know about filtering and compression...

              You should have bought 4 of them. No good having all your stuff in one place if it's not backed up!

              Was looking at external drives and notice you can now get a 1TB usb drive for about 2 quid more than a bare drive! Around £70-75 inc vat.

              Currently got 2.5TB in my home server, about half used. Could do with backing it up incase some scrote nicks it whilst I'm out.

              I think I'll wait till USB 3 though, it'll take days to backup that amount of stuff.

                I also backup to DLT tape using Vertias through a SCSI controller. It's very fast! But the tape drive was mighty expensive. The one time I needed to do a full restore from tape, it saved my butt, so was worth the investment.

                  My 5 TB is recorded white noise. It just won't compress.

                    It will if you think outside of a box...
