You do have multiple external hard drives that you back up your data offline locally with, right?

>>106850569 (OP)
Nope. I store nothing digitally.

>>106850569 (OP)
so much proof for fraud, corruption gone forever

>>106850586
Yep. Especially since the old gov was being investigated on corruption charges. Very interesting.

>>106850569 (OP)
I have no backups. They're demonic. We only have one life, no backups. Get the job done in the time limit and accept the the inevitable end.

I am as bad, you don't know how many data losses I have had I think 4 in total.

External hard drives are insanely cheap. You have no excuse.

>>106850801
>External hard drives are insanely cheap. You have no excuse.
Yes, I do. I don't want to buy hard drives.

>>106850811
If you pirate a single game or digital product, you could save the money you would need to buy an external hard drive and save what you pirated on it.

>>106850569 (OP)
Yes, of course I do, do you?

>>106850569 (OP)
>External hard drives
>Local backups
What kind of casual do you take me for? I have NAS's set up at two relatives houses I use for backups. An external hard drive I keep right next to my computer isn't gonna save a goddamn thing if my house burns down.

>>106850928
Of course!

>>106850569 (OP)
just restore the backup from the raid ez

>>106850569 (OP)
Totes organicslly, no doubt...

>>106850569 (OP)
>But we have backups
>Are the backups in the same building as the data center
>Yes. Why?
People will never learn what backups are.

>>106850569 (OP)
I made a thread on here a week or so ago about how I plugged in an ancient SSD of mine and could still watch the porn collection I gathered as a teenager a decade ago. I took anon's advice to heart and got myself a 5T external HDD to save the porn and all other data on.

>>106850569 (OP)
Yes but I could lose them and not give a shit.

>>106851531
They said they don't have backups.
Because "it's too big".

ahhh shit they're onto us, better shred some stuff, blackmail the overzealous, bribe officials, keep things under wraps

i dont have anything very important to backup

Of course.

I'd be crushed if my ecchi folder disappeared. Years of searching and careful curation, gone.

For all their electronics industry and the futuristic tech image they try to display outward, South Korea is horribly technologically retarded.
Up until about ten years ago you could just portscan South Korean IP ranges and come up with pages after pages of critical infrastructure that was unprotected or using default credentials.
It's a wonder North Korea didn't turn the whole country off just to prove a point.

>1PB

>It's a wonder North Korea didn't turn the whole country off just to prove a point
because that would escalate a war. countries care less about paper money being stolen by north korean hackers since they can just print more

yeah i printed all of my favorite candydolls

>>106850569 (OP)
I guess the data really is in the cloud now

>>106851959
that's only like $10,000 worth of HDDs

it was probably just databases of people who pirate KPOP, "Mahwa," and look up loli/shota hentai
not even joking

>>106850569 (OP)
nothing worse than the "but that was my backup people". you know, the ones that move their data to an external drive and call it a backup when it's their only copy of stuff

>>106850569 (OP)
If they recorded the smoke with high enough resolution AI can recreate the data through simulation analysis and stuff.

>>106852218
>where's the data?

or about $8,700 in tapes (29 LTO-10 tapes at 30TB/$300 each)

Oh Carlos, you're such a joker!

>>106850569 (OP)
I keep my (important) stuff in 5 places at all times. I make an encrypted zip file and put it on my work computer, an USB drive, my phone and Google Drive. It has worked out great cause I've had times when I had to restore it and I've never lost anything because of it.

>>106850569 (OP)

if it was stored in the cloud how did a fire destroy it?

Why are Worst Koreans like this? Maybe instead of building a cyber dystopia they should focus on their plummeting demographics instead? Japan looks good by comparison.
At the very least could Samsung make a desktop ARM CPU that isn't full of malware? Because that would be really neat.

I store everything on multiple M-DISCs spread across different physical locations.

>>106850801
let go of the past, anon

>>106850801
>OY VEY $500 FOR A HARD DRIVE IS VERY CHEAP

your days are numbered, moshe.

>>106853716
In this case it was literally someone else's computer and not someone else's distributed storage.

whats raid 0

>>106851959
It was '858TB of data'
Obviously they will have had multiple copies of this 858TB, for safety, in different areas of the building, because Government. Who do things proper.

>>106855038
it's not really a RAID (hence the "0") as it's not redundant, which is part of the definition of a RAID.
it does combine drives into a single logical space however, so that's why it's called that. it combines drives by splitting data evenly across all member drives. so like as a simplified example, say you have a 1MiB file and two discs, 0.5MiB will be stored on one disc and the other 0.5MiB on the other. because of this, all drives need to be working for any of the data to be accessible, since part of any file that isn't really small is on every drive.
the reason someone might use raid0 is for performance. you can imagine that if a file is spread across multiple discs, then accessing that file benefits from the speed of every drive combined

>>106855113
That sounds phenomenally retarded for anyone who cares about losing their data. Doesn't that just multiply the chance of data loss by the number of drives?

>>106855215
yes, it does. raid0's are supposed to only be used for scratch space, that is, high-speed space you use to store /temporary/ data, stuff you can afford to lose. these days there's not as big of a use for them as like a raid1 of two decent nvme drives would destroy anon's 8-disc hdd array in performance... but of course.. you can raid0 nvme ssd's...
basically, it's not something you should choose lightly, if you don't know you need it or know the risks, you should not use it

>>106855215
say you have a purpose that *needs* fast disk speeds, like high-end video capture. You use the speed of the pair of striped disks to capture in realtime, then when you are done you can just back up the captured file to another device, which can then be slower, as you no longer need to worry about dropping frames etc.
Of course, you could just add another pair of striped disks for redundancy, which is exactly what RAID 10 is afaik. But tldr, you have applications for which disk speed is a greater priority than data security. And if you are using a RAID 0 system for typing and storing your Word docs, you are doing it wrong.

>>106855059
pic from op article.
other sources have slightly different information but all agree that the one part of the data center that actually hosted user files was not backed up or not backed up regularly enough to be of any use.

> LTO5 tape that I really should get around to learning to use.

>>106855523
Also, I have a couple TB of MicroSD. How stupid would it be to try and RAID them together for slow but highly redundant storage?

Car has a screw-on antenna, I'm thinking I could maybe rig a low-power NAS using an SBC and a bunch of cards on a usb hub.

>>106850569 (OP)
yes. also crucial data backed up in an encrypted file container on my phone's SD card. I have it always on me so I treat is as 1 in 3-2-1.

>>106850801
But I don't need digital files. Notice how we have physical objects dating back thousands of years yet we don't have copies in original format of the earliest digital files ever produced, yet that only goes back a few decades. Digital is for accessibility, not for preservation. The ultimate black pill is to return to monke. So much more time and freedom not having to worry about files.

>>106850569 (OP)
The only thing i need is my keepass store which is synced to multiple devices. Don't care about the rest.

>>106855564

Worst Korea is doing both, they've put millions into programs to try to encourage their people to make babies(didn't work) and porn has been illegal there for ages now(didn't work either)

>>106850617
based

In addition to the multiple copies of things at home both on my PC and NAS, I also keep some bare drives at my parent's house a few miles away. I update those every few months, which is adequate since I don't generate new very often.

>>106850569 (OP)
>RaidZ1 setup for the primary copy (zfs mirror for the older 2 drives)

good enough

It takes virtually no effort to back shit up so you're just a boring faggot and/or a lazy poor faggot at this point if you aren't

>>106855638
Meanwhile there's VHS backups all over the internet of all kinds of things, many of which have comments of 'thank god you backed this up' etc. Let me tell you something, you will never regret backing up anything but you will regret not doing it and watching something be permanently removed from existence and then sitting there with your cock in your hand hoping someone else did it.

Course if all you do is watch garbage slop then none of this applies to you, carry on
