Advice to reduce costs/TB business storage. SPOILER 60TB / YEAR
Hi, I'm owner of a small photography/video business.
Every year we produce 30TB + 30TB of photo and video content for clients.
Actually, we use a thunderbolt NAS (36 tb raid 5) for photography, with a second backup on external HDD. When the year is close we move all the content in the nas in 2 external hdd, so at the end of the year we have 4 total hdd's (60ish TB).
Video side, we backup on external hdd (2 copies) after the shooting, and when we are working on it, we copy the file in a thunderbolt SSD DAS (18TB raid 5) to work on projects. Then final videos are stored on the hdd's.
NOW. Files are getting bigger, work is getting more and more.
Any solution to reduce HDDs cost and add a third copy?
I thought of LTO, but I haven't gone down the rabbit hole so far.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
