I'm planning to buy two 16 TB Exos drives in the near future for my personal file backup (photos, movies, music, projects and so on).

I'm thinking of using one drive in my PC daily, copying data to it for storage, and syncing it to the second every 4 weeks, which would be in cold storage between those syncs.

Does a setup like this make sense? I'm don't care if I lose 4 weeks of data - I mainly want the old files to survive.
