A combination of a NAS, Crashplan (I may be switching to BackBlaze) and occasionally burning critical data to BluRay discs for cold storage.
On my work desktop I also do incremental Acronis images and Windows File History on local drives.
- fraXis 10y agoWhy do you want to switch from Crashplan to Backblaze?
- slantyyz 10y agoI have become less and less of a fan of the software over time.
- tedmiston 10y agoI've used both Crashplan and Backblaze personally but found both pieces of software to be painfully resource intensive, particularly in CPU usage on a rMBP with good specs. (I should not be able to know your software is running by the slowness it causes me in the middle of development when I have it set on the "optimal" settings.) IMO neither is really better than the other. I feel like a good complete remote personal backup solution for someone with multiple drives [1] doesn't exist today. [1]: Read someone with an SSD MacBook and years of data accumulated from other machines that don't fit on the built-in SSD.
