Outside my depth but I'll give it a stab. Identify what data is important, (is the full 42Tb needed?). Can the data be split into easier to handle chunks?

If it is, then I personally do an initial sneakernet to get the fist set of data over. Then mirror different on a regular basis.

Plus the desire to fulfill it.

Only works when no one is looking at you... and when you're naked.

Can probably make a trilogy out of it... maybe even a franchise.

Good post... should be in the Magazine FAQ/Wiki...

Few more scams to call out...

  • Send money to help family member injured out of town.
  • Amazon fake order (anyone calling for that matter saying you've been billed or ordered something).
  • Car should also be for anything requesting a deposit before seeing in person with appropriate access or buying, (rental property, pets...). Usually high pressure and a really good deal situation.
  • if it's too good to be try or you feel soemthing is off... it usually is.

Two drives is a good thing. Always have a copy at a remote location and swap it out rather than shuttling the one drive back and forth.

rclone is a good solution. I use it myself. I also just found out about syncthing which is great for syncing with your phone to something to the local network.

Not sure about the technicalities of it. Are the protocols similar enough for this?

Edit: not sure why this was double posted. I deleted the other one.

Why YSK: If you have digital data that is important, (family photos, crypto keys/wallets...). Back it up and prevent permanently losing it.

3 different places its saved to, (iPhone, ICloud, laptop, Facebook, Google, Camera SD, Flash drive...).

2 different media, I would consider iPhone and iCloud the same. Buying two External Drives of the same type and brand too. Why? Consider losing your Apple account or the drive model fails in a year.

1 off site copy. If all your copies are in your house, a flood, fire, tornado, hurricane, EMP... would lose every thing.

0 time to waste. (My own personal add). Do it now. Procrastination is dangerous and is the biggest regret for when things go sideways.

Agreed. The systems are being flooded from the migration. Communities are quickly being formed. A little patience and people rolling up their sleeves to make it better go a long way.

 

I'm sure many new users are curious.

I agree. I've has to scrap and force upgrade multiple devices over the years, solely due to the battery dying quickly. Definitely a built in obsolescence built into the industry that needs to be fixed.

Stupid question. How is everyone managing the accounts, emails and content? How do you manage multiple profiles? (As I understand apps and tools are still lacking).

3-2-1 Backup Rule (www.starwindsoftware.com)
 

Something i haven't seen posted here yet, but worth say over and over again.

Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong… but with the 3-2-1 strategy in place, your data always survives.
