How do you deal with this? Using 2 backed up hard drives isn't viable for me or most people since its too costly.
Doing the daily backup of my 12TB media data

either back up specific content at a time minimizing the amount of unprotected data, or get more space

Use rsync, there's no need to recopy the whole directory if only one or two files changed, just copy the one or two modified files.
Also look into rsnapshot.

I don't see how this results from doing a backup. Why do you have to do that? Why don't you use a tool which syncs the backup with the live data without transferring data which already exists in the backup?

cwRsync which is for windows, It says you got to pay for it

Uh what the fuck?

Robocopy /s /e /xo

what does this do?

Hell, even use the build in backup system is better than what your doing. If you don't want to get into the other proposals in this thread, just use the build in tools in windows, OSX or whatever your using.
