> Your mom should never be storing 200GB of data on a hard drive. Thats Wrong(tm) because baking up properly is difficult enough when you have a team of sysadmins.
It is much thanks to me that she does not up it on the cloud. I don't trust cloud services, so that's what I suggest to her -- I'm happy to sysadmin her devices whenever she needs me to though.
I hope in the future there are truly Easy-to-use-for-moms storage devices, along with the software to go with them, that gives them all the benefits cloud may have.

Sure, and when Youtube decides to change their policies, and Dropbox goes bankrupt, then she has.... nothing. Hard drives are cheap. Run a backup service and you have no worries.

Doesn't Time Capsule count as a backup? It's not difficult. https://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/
Instead, she should be using a private youtube for her videos, and Flickr for photos. The rest should fit in a dropbox account. Not only will her data have a team of professionals trying to prevent the inevitable fuck-up, and she'll enjoy 'cloud' benefits, but also she'll have a chance to curate her collection during upload, because no one has enough time in their life to look at 200GB of home movies and photos every 6 months (it's turning into a landfill)
