That link is hilarious - thanks. EDIT: obviously HE'S not hilarious - but the idea amuses me greatly.
Generally we take 2 x 1TB drives to each shoot day - 1 as master, 1 as safety copy. Then keep the safety and master until backed up on the RAID and project master deliverables are backed up on a couple of cloud services. In honesty we don't have a long term solution for rushes which is a shame but just not cost effective. We'd end up adding 50TB of RAID 10 each year. If nothing else we'd run out of physical space in the office : )
Not too fussed by spend as it's an essential item. If we lost a days rushes we'd likely lose the client even though insurance would cover us for losses. We currently rotate around 48TB of our 'best' rushes (a few shots saved from each project we've ever done just in case we ever need something for a reel), then 12TB of project master deliverables, and we have about 20 x 1TB ev mobile drives - 6 of which are in those ATC cases, the rest are the original metal ones. About 15ks worth of storage. In the mid to long term I'd like to get something along these lines: http://www.jigsaw24.com/g-technology-g-rack-12-120tb-12-bay-shared-nas-storage-solution/rackmount-raid/-/fcp-product/26369
But finding it hard to psych myself up to spend 30k on a hard drive.
