I've been putting off buying a Drobo (with Network share) for Time Machine backups, but as a new father I need to get it ASAP.
Besides Drobo, anyone have other suggestions?
- sreitshamer 17y agoYou could try Arq http://www.haystacksoftware.com/arq/ http://www.haystacksoftware.com/arq/ It'll back up whichever folders you choose to your own S3 account, which is very fast and reliable. It backs up and restores all Mac metadata corrrectly, stores versioned backups (like Time Machine), fully encrypted, has drag-and-drop restore, de-duplication, no limits on file sizes or drive types.
- cperciva 17y agoIt would be polite to identify yourself as the author of Arq when you advertise it. I often mention Tarsnap here, but I do my best to make sure that people understand that I'm somewhat biased when I espouse its benefits.
- sreitshamer 16y agoGood point, thanks! I'll definitely do that next time.
- rarrrrrr 17y agoTarsnap, Arq, and SpiderOak are backup services created by HNers.
