If you’re serious about data hoarding, a few rules will save you headaches:

  1. Storage Redundancy – Use a 3-2-1 backup strategy: 3 copies, 2 different media types, 1 offsite.
  2. File Organization – Automate sorting with tools like FileBot for media and FreeFileSync for backups.
  3. Data Integrity – Use PAR2 for recovery, hashing tools for verification, and ZFS/Btrfs for bit-rot protection.
  4. Efficient Compression – Zstd or 7z (ultra) can save space without killing performance.
  5. Self-Hosting – If using a NAS, consider Unraid or TrueNAS for flexibility.

What’s your biggest regret as a data hoarder? Let’s share lessons!
