I get a RAW and a JPG of every photo I take, and I save every single one of them.
Sometimes I don't look at a collection for years, and then when I do I find that a photo I thought was bad is in fact amazing.
I need to get a NAS to have a decent photo backup.
Right now everything is stored on a single hard drive....
At least grab a second drive and keep a copy, even if it's external.
Some of my photos truly aren't worth keeping, lol. I think the moral of the story is not to get discouraged if you don't get 100% keepers every shot. People blink/move, you don't always get the framing right, etc. It's easy to look at the photos posted to social media and get discouraged. Don't! For every photo you do see, there are tons and tons you don't see.
