 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosalier in today's video I want to talk about some of the best communities on reddit for people who are interested in data storage and backup Starting with the data hoarder subreddit. This subreddit is our data hoarder It's a pretty big subreddit. It's got 622,000 members at the time I'm recording this video It's slogan is it's a digital disease and according to the about community description It's a sub that aims of bringing data hoarders together to share their passion with like-minded people So if you're into stuff like backup data preservation talking about The pros and cons of different types of storage media for long-term data backup or archival This is to the best of my knowledge the very best community on the internet That is probably going to be smaller niche forums out there off reddit that I don't know about But personally I find this a really really useful subreddit Just browsing through the posts on the subreddit today People talk commonly about building their own NAS's they talk about backup strategies And these are some of these guys are managing like crazy amounts of data On-site and in the cloud. It's a decent subreddit. You can see there's a pretty big moderation team And they have a reasonable amount of rules nothing to it's not a particularly I find it a particularly friendly subreddit lots of techies here and I was going to say not unfriendly and then I realized a double negative is probably confusing I find it a relatively friendly subreddit and there's tons and tons advice You can see the flares they have here question discussion hoarder setup sales news troubleshooting backup So if you're interested in those subjects This is welcome. This is open to both hobbyists to the extent that preserving your data is a hobby as well as pros There's a couple of other subreddits. I wanted to do to round this one out There are a couple of backup specific subreddits But they're much smaller than the data hoarder subreddit. So if you have questions about backup if you look at the top post on the Data hoarder subreddit for let's just take the last Let's just do all time. Why not? You'll see the backups actually It's one of the flares and it's a subject that gets Covered all the time here. So I think if you have a backup question It's probably just as easy to post on data hoarders as it is on the backup subreddit One or two more storage and data and it's that related subreddits There is I found a small cloud storage subreddit if you're particularly interested in storing stuff On the cloud and you want to discuss the various cloud storage options Particularly if you're you know using big cloud storage. So again, like data hoarder style if you're Putting terabytes or even perhaps petabytes of data on the cloud if that's even possible This is another small subreddit. I like these small subreddits 2.5 thousand members. They're a lot smaller They're more focused, but I tend to just also look for the all-in-one shops like data hoarder Finally, there is one There is one storage subreddit because storage is obviously such an integral part of managing data However, this is not a This isn't really a kind of talk about storage for your average joe subreddit As you can see in the community description. It's a subreddit for enterprise level it data storage related questions So this is really intended for People working in the industry who want to discuss Professional enterprise grade storage data the data hoarder Storage comes up all the time here, particularly the more niche forms of storage nowadays such as lto Or my recent interest ldisk mdisk So if you want to get information about starting your own tape library This is a topic that I see all the time and data hoarder if you're interested in preserving your data data I don't even watch it. I don't like data data hoarder data preservation data storage data management Data backup then these are the best communities I found on reddit to date and I think also the best on the internet Thank you guys for watching more videos coming soon
