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.

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.

They can say that anyways with poll stations stuffing ballots. How is that different?

This is something we used to deal with regularly on /r/adoption and /r/genealogy

Sounds like an opertunity to build the community here.

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.

External Drives come with software now to help people sync the data, (for the less techincal).

You could also just manually copy the data by clicking and dragging.

I'm kind of a command line junkie so I use robocopy in scripts.

Password management is another big topic that is pretty big.

Something as simple a writing it down on paper in a safe location works for some.

https://1password.com/

Are also other options.

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.

 

I'm sure many new users are curious.

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.
