Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

With everything going on over at YouTube, what is everyone using as their backup solution?

I'm using TubeArchivist to maintain this VERY large collection.

This is a big part of it IMO. Even 'streaming exclusive' stuff that see's no physical release gets pirated enmass so many copies exist. Few people copy YouTube content however, since it's already online, free, and easily accessible. ...Until the day it's not accessible of course.
