Greetings!
I am a filmmaker. I am looking for a solution to store my current and finished projects for long term. Each project varies in size and I cannot foresee the amount of data I might end up with, so scalability is a huge priority. One main question is, is a DAS like the Lacie 6big or a NAS like the Synology Rackstation ideal for my situation? My current setup is I use an edit drive (Lacie D2) which holds all my current projects, then transferred to another external HDD for that particular year. That hard drive backs up to another hard drive and a DIY Unraid server I built (absolutely unreliable). I do not need to access the files that often, but need to store and may need to reuse some of the files in the future for another project. I would also like to archive my personal data along with them.
Is my current setup good as it is? Or is a RAID DAS or a NAS recommended? I currently have no employees and use two computers.
Please recommend an archival solution for me. Thankyou.
