  • Kinda-sorta…? The most sensitive data was more like 5-3-1: 5 copies (in my twin laptops, in my HDD-based NAS, one in my mobile external HDD, and one ‘offsite’ with my family back in my hometown). Then for my work data it was 3-2-1: main laptop, my NAS backup, and offsite (updated every holiday). For entertainment which are mostly loot from the seven seas, 2.5-1 rule: I stash bulk of them in my NAS (which I mostly stream to my laptop) and copy what I need to share with folks to the mobile HDD) and the other copy is also offsite




  • Honestly, the best you can do right now is to select a handful of your best collection and download it using campus network (get your most trusty professor if possible to borrow his office to store your system while downloading it). 200 TB over 7 days would require something in the neighborhood of 300 MByte per second minimum (and 5 HDD running simultaneously to avoid bottleneck). That’s basically asking for the nigh-impossible: 2.5 Gbit (I suggest going for 4 Gbit) over network that you cannot really trust its throughput

    Another option I could suggest is to rent something like Mega for a month or two while you download everything you can at your connection speed
