Do you burn JAV files into DVD?

yes I do, 95% my collection are in DVD-R

had bad experience with HDD, after that I put my collection into discs and flashdisks
 
I use Blu-ray 50GB discs for storage. That way I can get up to 32 or so titles on one disc. It goes towards my archiving database and HTA program. I so far have 52 discs archived (and 6 of VR titles). So, BD001 is disc one, BD002 is disc two and so on (BDVR001 for VR titles). If you look around this link you’ll see in the screenshots the disc locations for each title.

Like @Supmop, I had a HDD fail some time back. Lost a whole lot of titles all at once and decided never again! So I started archiving to Blu-ray. That way if I had a disc “fail” I would lose roughly 50GB of titles instead of 2TB! Makes it much easier to stomach having to get those lost titles back. For me it is the way to go.

Here is some history if you're curious.

Yes until several years ago. But I just keep losing them, so now I just back it up on separate HDD.
Except for loli themed JAV anime manga etc. which I put it on another HDD.
 
I have a 6 TB external HDD with cryptography where I keep my japanese educational videos.

I used to burn to DVD, but accumulated too many titles, so now just store them on external drives. The fear is, of course, that all drives eventually fail, so I have started backing up online.

Doesn't that get expensive? And time consuming?

What do you use to back them up online?
 
You guys need to purchase or build a NAS or DAS, something with parity drives, to protect the data. Something like 3x8TB data drives with 1x8TB or 2x8TB parity drives. Then you have to back it up. Either duplicate the data onto more drives and store it off site, or use something like Backblaze or Crashplan +/- encryption.

having many storage drives and separate our collection into many different media is good decission
 
There doesn't seems to be any fullproof options and the increasingly large collection size is not helping : )

Store in DVD - hard to retrieve. small storage per disk. Can also fail due to disk failure

Store in External HD - Most prone to disk failure. Using RAID/ Parity drive means much lesser disk space available.

Store online - slow upload speed and there is a chance that Service provider could close down. I feel there is a lack of privacy as well
