"Pony/Website archive" is more than 1.5 terabytes in size.

Applies to all large dataset folders, that is. Also, apparently some anon downloaded all of the pony stuff in there months ago, so that is, in a way, a "backup". Some of the furry stuff might not be backed up. Users can download and backup data all they want, but how many of them re-share the content or make it Internet-accessible again in their own way or in a different way? I also seek to make the content available via one or more websites and/or P2P such as BitTorrent and IPFS. I have hundreds of gigabytes accessible in my IPNS site which I hope to make have better uptime in the future. I have got better at managing data and stuff and will probably continue to get better at it. Also, don't use NTFS; use ext4, btrfs, ZFS, or maybe even XFS.

I don't have a lot of free disk space now. I currently have, without regarding what is backed up or not, roughly 50 terabytes of total storage power. I have one dead 5 TB HDD (so can't say 55 TB).

Backups matter less if you have everything in cold storage and don't read/write to the disks a lot. Backups matter way more if the disks are like constantly hot and being read/written to, such as having data Internet-accessible in an "always-on" way.
