Digital preservation: not fandom specific

"I am an independent media archivist saving obscure and lost media on vinyl, cassette, VHS, and especially sound filmstrip, an old educational slideshow-like format on 35mm film. I have more than a thousand items uploaded to the Internet Archive, with several thousand left to digitize. However, I am not connected to a university like most archivists and therefore don't have an unlimited budget.
Backups are super important to a project like this, and recently one of my backup destinations, Google Drive, set up a storage limit that is way too low for my needs. They did this suddenly and without warning. "
