Just keep in mind that hard drives do not last forever. They'll last a few years of regular use, maybe up to a decade if you're lucky. Storing media on a hard drive is not like having a box of books in your basement, your kids aren't going to be able to use them in 40 years.

Eh, now days unless you're really beating them up, most HDDs will last at least 5-7 years.

You are right that people need to have multiple backups on different media, especially really important stuff.

3:2:1 The Golden Rule.

3 backups minimum, two on site, one off.
