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.

I'm going to start backing up all my movies to an external drive. Do you guys encrypt (BitLocker) the drive in case of theft?

It probably makes more sense when it's family photos or the like, but this is just movies in 1080p and 2160p.

No. Why on earth would you?

Your sweet rips of 1080p tentacle hentai are not that important.
