    1-2TB per 1vps for personal uses .

  • Personally, 2Tb is enough

  • To give an outlier: I only use 0.2TB as backup.

  • 2TB is more than enough

  • Given that you're working on storage VPSses, 9TB to make a full backup of my NAS

    1Tb would be nice for servers, but for another project I am a part of, as much as possible.

    2TB is what I use.

  • 99TB
    3TB max right now.

  • Since we are talking about backup storage, 2TB would be great. 1TB is ok too.

  • In theory I could use about 3tb but maybe put that up to 5tb if I reconfigure my server. In the latter case, bandwidth to germany (hetzner) would have to be quite good.

  • 2 TB is more then enough for personal use. I have in my pc 500GB data that I backup regurarly.

    Btw. We are waiting for your backup packages since 6-7 months you promised in a thread better packages as time4vps :)

  • 2x2TB looking to switch one to 4TB shortly... underlying raid much preferred

  • I smell storage boxes in Romania :)

    Max: 60 TB. Min: 2 TB; prefer something b/w 2-4 TB for personal projects.

    Pavin.

  • Right now I'm at 10tb of personal backups.

    Alright, but who really needs all that warez and porn? ;-)

  • Thinking about it further I'm probably not a likely customer for this, given the fairly low cost of storage directly at Hetzner, and that if I'm going to move stuff I probably want it to be towards North America rather than away from there. Thinking on and off about cheap colo in St. Louis or similar.

    2tb is all what i need to have online :)

  • I use a 500GB VPS for various server backups and some limited file storage. Backup servers generally aren't very cheap per-TB (assuming a minimum of RAID1 is present), so a larger backup server isn't really an affordable option for me (especially so given that I'm locked into a very low price for that 500GB server).

    My main computer's backups are around ~1.5TB at the moment (but I use Backblaze for that).

  • At the moment around 16TB

  • I have around 6TB, currently stored at amazon cloud drive.

    We need one of those popcorn emojis :).

  • 5 years ago, I kept copies of all film and tv I downloaded which totalled about 3tb. But since I got involved in private trackers, I don't have to keep copies. I just download when I want to watch anything.

    Personally I'd like 2-4TB, but more being possible is fine with me. Looking forward to finding out what the offer will be like.

    Backup Storage - 28TB

    Personally I have no mass amounts of files but everything is in the 'cloud'.

    Youll need to fix that sig before your butt hole is made larger.

    I think a better question is how do people use their backup servers, what protocol do they use to transfer data. I had a plan a while back with BIGvps to provide the storage and NFS/SFTP/SSH/RSYNC for a ridiculous price. But thats when my lack of business skills drained the bank :/
