A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I have short films, projects that never got made, personal photos, ones of friends, clients, old family ones .. i do some writing and store different documents. I want to have a Mari Kundo type hard drive.

Do you guys have any tips? Or some industry standard I’m not aware of?

I have one pool of storage I use for all sorts of things, that's 180TB in a single zfs pool in 2 raidz1 vdevs.

For photography I store in the format Photography/YYYY/MM-DD-project-name

I backup my photos (and various other documents) using Restic to Backblaze B2 and Amazon S3 using the glacier deep archive tier.

In general you should follow the 3-2-1 rule. 3 copies of data in 2 storage mediums, at least 1 of which is off-site.
