I have about 8TB of storage that is currently only replicated through a raid array. I occasionally sync that to another USB drive and leave that in a fireproof safe (same location).

I’d really like to do an offsite backup, but I only have 10Mbps upload. We are literally talking months to do a full backup.

How do others handle situations like this?

Reconsider how much of that 8tb really needs to be backed up. Thousands of pictures of your cat aren’t really going to be missed, and your Linux ISOs can be redownloaded.

They are pictures of my dog and YES THEY DO! :) I mean, it is 25 years of my computing history there…
