Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I know I should be concerned but I would like to know just how concerned I should be. (alien.top)

Concerned? Why start now after all these years without a backup strategy?

Because not everyone was born in Google's data center following the best ever data storage practices , and decided to take data hoarding seriously after collecting a lot of data

Best switch to decaf and lighten up

Didnt have enough money for a full professional backup.

Personally, I have enough to make do with crude smaller backups
