Data Storage Question!!
I’m preparing to shoot a movie in a couple weeks, and I need to be able to store up to 8 TB of footage. I’ll be shooting the movie on a bus as it travels long distances. The data needs to be backed up such that I’m positive I won’t lose it.
How can I do this cost-effectively? Should I keep a big hard drive with me on the bus and one back home that I can upload to? Is there a cheap cloud storage service that would be better than this? Is a rattling bus a dangerous place for a hard drive, and would a solid-state drive fare considerably better?
Y’all know more about computers than I do. Please come to my rescue.
In short: How should I store and back up 8 TB of footage while on the road?

I can't provide a whole lotta guidance on physical storage at the moment, but for cloud storage, AWS Glacier would be a good option and is incredibly cheap. The only con is that it may take a while to retrieve, but you can look up that.
thank you, I’ll look into this
