There are solutions at scale that do the job really reliably while using minimal bandwidth for backup, but you need to spend at least $10,000 and keep track of a 24-hr I.T. expert who'll charge you a bit every month. No cloud required.
<div class="">
<ul class="">
<li class="">Restore one or all files from any point in time easily</li><li class="">Survive regional disaster (flood, fire, burglary, etc)</li><li class="">Only back up file difference to local NAS - up to hourly</li><li class="">Only back difference from local NAS to remote NAS nightly</li><li class="">Recover from virus, crypto locker etc. with minimal loss</li><li class="">Scalable to many terabytes (or more) fairly easily</li><li class="">Digital protection from 'bit-rot' (the greatest threat of all)</li><li class="">Any equipment can fail and still photos are easily restored</li><li class="">Total ownership and privacy of your intellectual property</li><li class="">No Microsoft, Google, Zenfolio etc. required</li></ul>

<div class="">I use one for my 30-year archive of about 8 terabytes. It's a bit overwhelming for an individual - you need the I.T. expert, but the solution does exist and eliminates the fear of failing equipment, virus, crypto locker, regional disaster, etc.<br class="">

<div class="">For a large studio (or a well-off individual), this is a good deal, but for most, there just isn't a safe and secure solution other than archival prints.<br class="">

<div class="">I fear that there will be very few photos that survive this generation; no cd, dvd or hard drive will survive. Our grandchildren won't have much to remember us by.</div>
