I think you can help yourself a ton by using compression softwares for images, and especially videos. The cameras nowadays are of very very high resolution -- I am pretty sure that even if the image/size is quartered by a good compression method, your eyes won't notice a thing, be it on screen, or in print.

Why would you ever back up lossy, compressed copies of your irreplacable pictures? If you're going to do that, you might as well just put them all on Facebook.

In terms of long-term storage, decent lossy compression and Facebook are both better bets than lossless images on a hard drive you don't bother backing up because you can't justify the cost.
