Long (12-15days): 1 or 2
Short (5-7 days) : 1 or 2
Local events: 4-6
Then there is ad-hoc kind of outing (example to local reseved forest)
Family gathering photos, etc
So, I can easily hit 1TB worth of storage (RAW + processed JPG + MKV
slideshows) in a year.

I have a SAMBA server sitting at a corner in my home office. This is my
primary storage where all the photos, ripped FLAC music collection, shinny
discs ISO rips.
Regarding CD/DVD/Blurays, if you have young children handling them, you
will know what happen after few handlings by them - the discs get not so
shinny after a handful of uses. Continue on, it becomes unreadable. This
is a personal experience. That's why I rip them. The kids access those
titles (complete with cover art) via Andriod based media centre boxes. No
physical medias to handle.
Then there is the other PCs in the house to backup...especially the laptop
belonging to my wife. I run full metal recovery backup + snapshots (using
Veeam Endpoint Backup Free) of her MS Windows laptop. The backups go to
the SAMBA box. So this SAMBA box has become my most critical box in the
house and I have to have a good backup solution.

Backing up rule 321 says to have 3 copies, in 2 media types and 1 offsite.
Backing up to disks is part of my solution.
Ok...think we are getting OT here :p
