Came here to ask the same question.

Outside my depth but I'll give it a stab. Identify what data is important, (is the full 42Tb needed?). Can the data be split into easier to handle chunks?

If it is, then I personally do an initial sneakernet to get the fist set of data over. Then mirror different on a regular basis.

Plus the desire to fulfill it.

Only works when no one is looking at you... and when you're naked.

Can probably make a trilogy out of it... maybe even a franchise.

Does not teleport your cloths.

I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't see your thread.

I hope RIF, Apollo, Infinity... and all the other wonderful alts have been reached out to. They are a big reason for the migration.

I'm noticing this happen more frequently, (in some cases after a few clicks).

Not doing anything crazy. Happens when viewing All (newest) and upon upvoting an article.

On a browser on my phone.

External Drives come with software now to help people sync the data, (for the less techincal).

You could also just manually copy the data by clicking and dragging.

I'm kind of a command line junkie so I use robocopy in scripts.

Password management is another big topic that is pretty big.

Something as simple a writing it down on paper in a safe location works for some.

Are also other options.

Done. I wonder if you can have a template to auto-populate.

Why YSK: If you have digital data that is important, (family photos, crypto keys/wallets...). Back it up and prevent permanently losing it.

3 different places its saved to, (iPhone, ICloud, laptop, Facebook, Google, Camera SD, Flash drive...).

2 different media, I would consider iPhone and iCloud the same. Buying two External Drives of the same type and brand too. Why? Consider losing your Apple account or the drive model fails in a year.

1 off site copy. If all your copies are in your house, a flood, fire, tornado, hurricane, EMP... would lose every thing.

0 time to waste. (My own personal add). Do it now. Procrastination is dangerous and is the biggest regret for when things go sideways.

Agreed. The systems are being flooded from the migration. Communities are quickly being formed. A little patience and people rolling up their sleeves to make it better go a long way.

I'm sure many new users are curious.

Something i haven't seen posted here yet, but worth say over and over again.

Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong… but with the 3-2-1 strategy in place, your data always survives.
