Haha. Thanks. I really didn't want to pay Netflix or any other streaming service. But it might have been cheaper than hdds and electricity.
This is something I've been building for over 10 years at this point. I've gone through so many iterations of servers and storage architecture. I've lost my entire TV and movie library multiple times. (I don't back it up because a. It's expensive at this scale and b. this data is easy to rebuild over time.)
It's been a part of learning about hosting and data management that I've brought to/from my work.
I'm in a similar place with books and comics. Of course, nowhere near the Jupiter size collection of media you have, but easily 2.5TB+ of just books and comics.
My wife, my kids and I are all avid readers, so we are always sharing some book or comic arc. We're all rerunning all of Lobo's arcs, it was Deadpool a couple of weeks ago (that should tell you all anyone needs to know about our family ๐)
You say that, but some shows and movies are getting very hard to find these days. I lost one show to an external HDD that died, and I have never been able to find it again :(. That's part of the reason I recently went to a DAS in my setup instead of a NAS - backblaze backs the entire 40TB DAS up for ~$90 a year!
What did you lose?
And there are plenty of shows that I've had to manually recover at times. And plenty more that I can't find a copy of at all. I don't get too attached to much, and those I'll usually be seeding on multiple machines myself at that point.
