Who Agree's that you should always backup your youtube video content???

Yes, I back-up all of my videos. It is a good precaution plus if I want to use a portion of a previous video, I have the file handy. I try to not leave videos on my hard drive once I am done making a video.
You can always download the mp4 from YT! Not sure if the quality is the same, just an option that's available.
 
I save all my rendered videos on a 1TB drive. That way if I want to ever use an old video in a new video, or if I want to re-upload a video, I have it stored away.
 
I agree, and I probably should do this considering I'm documenting my first year living on my own >.< I don't have money to buy external hardrives though.
 
Yeah, at a certain point, it's too much memory, and would cost too much on a website like that. I'm small now, but I'd love to have 1,000+ videos before I quit making videos, so that'd be a lot of memory.
 
I have a server or two in reserve as well as my own hosting, so I generally back-up content there. I don't have an external, but I do have an internal just for video editing before I even started. So regardless, yes, I back-up everything. Graphics, project files, conversions, raw file, and finished. I'd rather be safe than sorry and one day I might want to put those videos elsewhere and not just YouTube.
 
I have a 3TB External HD which I store all my videos after upload instead of deleting them :) (I also store most of the original videos and project files) mainly so I can go back later and maybe attempt to make a montage or if I want to try and random editing I have loads of stuff to work off :)
 
Last I knew, we could only download one video per day.
I've downloaded 3 livestreams of my own in one day before. They were all around 3 hours long as well. I am a partner though, so I'm not sure if there is a limit applied to regular accounts.
