NAS with music/movies/shows stores in RAID config.
Separate backup or 3 of music/movies/shows that are difficult to source or replace at this time.
Have a backup of every desktop I've had at its decommission and job from when I ended there.
That's really all the backup you need.

I think it's pretty amusing that my music library caps out at 500GB and that's over 20 years of collecting and within months my video library eclipsed that

At two or three gigs a pop, or so, my 720p movie collection, of some 6000 titles, is hardly more than 16TB. I started hoarding 1080p videos of a different sort last year, and I'm already almost at 16TB with less than 2000 files!

>500gb
maybe if you store mp3s
if you are competent and archive in flac, thats only about 1500 songs
Joshua Rodriguez
>archive in flac
For what purpose? Can the human ear even tell FLAC apart from 320kbps files?
Oliver King
For people who care about archiving anything other than porn you should make a thread on Any Forums, they have the schizophrenic fury to save a lot of shit and just need some guidance/teaching
Ryan Brooks
yes, anyone can hear the difference
if its for streaming or portable use, flac is pretty redundant
but for archiving flac is a necessity, especially for transcoding and to prevent generation loss
its exactly like master tapes
i dun goofed though, its actually around 15000 songs at 16-bit 41000 hz

Any good yt-dl config for archive videos?
Jaxon Gray
Does anyone have long-term experience (>5 years) with BD?
Would be 25GB discs good enough for archiving?
I want to move stuff like movies and series I don't watch often to BDs.

I have a lot of trivial things from a decade ago archived but have been wondering - at what point do my archived info essentially become an internet of my own making? I guess I need to create a search engine in order to search my collection, or maybe a Yahoo style directory to browse them.
William Hughes
Yes
I lost a fuck load of data because they're biodegradable
Jackson Hall
>biodegradable
WTF? Is that real? Manufacturer?

Guy who's using Obsidian to curate a growing JAV collection here.
In the previous thread, I posted this video, where I show off a number of small changes affecting looks (text overflow, more breadcrumbs, videos launching in fullscreen mode, better-looking note headers, browser-link-style preview bar, centered jav notes, etc.)

More recently, I've put together a basic stats page and another page with graphs. See here:

I'm still working on adding missing actress stats. I've also started adding genre tags to JAV notes, with corresponding pages where every title matching a given tag can be seen. More on this in the future.

A 2010 YouTube channel that was only active for a few months was just scrubbed, they were old commercials that are hard to find
Fortunately I hoarded them with youtube-dl
Thanks /dhg/, remember to hoard things you value
Brody Garcia
Do you even hoard?

> I guess I need to create a search engine in order to search my collection
YaCy can do that I think, if you end up re-hosting web pages.
