I mean wtf? We're talking just 50 GB, which fits happily on a NAS. Or costs pennies to store on Filecoin per month, and they couldn't be bothered to store it in *two* locations? 😂😂😂

This feels intentional with the way these administrations have been being about PBS.

Best way to erase history. Control the media you can, destroy the media you can’t.

Consequences of an all digital world. Do what’s right, then suddenly “you should have ALSO done this” with the new rules.

And that's why multiple backups are vital.

Don't worry. old PBS shows are all the same you can AI generate new episodes by just prompting. Does anyone really know which bob ross episode it was where he painted that landscape? that's right no one.

50 terabytes??? That’s it??? I have a 32 TB RAID drive on my desktop and it’s fully backed up. PBS is staffed by amateurs.

HDDs come in 26 TB. Just get 4 of them. Then store the back up copy in the same boxes they came in. Keep one copy in a computer. Don't access unless needed, check every few weeks. I can do that on a modern desktop computer. Add another copy on new drives, even if unused, every ten years. 🐧

you only have contractual obligations to access your data when you subscribe to cloud service, you actually do not know that data. I've been in the it field for 40 years and I was preaching this 25 plus years ago.

Their IT people need to be fired. Everyone has a local copy of important data

50TB should be self hosted. Cloud should just remain a backup.
