- masterleep 9y agoIt's not a good idea to have just one backup system. I like to have 2 completely independent backups.
- buildbot 9y agoYou're completely right, although typically I only overlap backup methods for very important files and photos. Otherwise the storage requirements/costs get pretty extreme.
- brandon272 9y agoBackblaze is $5/mo.
- leejoramo 9y agoNever trust one backup solution. While I am happy to see people use any backup at all, as a professional and as someone who cares about my own stuff I feel a much more sophisticated approach is needed. Since 1980, I have learned to keep multiple backups, using multiple independent software, stored in multiple locations, on multiple types of media, overseen by multiple people. An overview of my personal backup system for my primary system a MacBook Pro: * Boot able mirror to remote hard drive via Carbon Copy Cloner * Data backup using Arq to home file server with RAID, and Google Cloud (previously to Amazon and Microsoft) * Data backup using Backblaze * Data sync via Resilio to home server * Code stored in Git * Some stuff in DropBox primarily sync with iOS apps * FastMail IMAP email synced to a local backup store * I just stopped use of CrashPlan after 9 years I have other backups going for the home file server. And of course, my servers for work have a whole other multilayered backup system.
- brandon272 9y agoHow often do you create the bootable mirror to an external drive?
- leejoramo 9y agoI have it set up to do it once a day. I rotate that between two drives. This part is done by hand, I try to rotate once a week, but more likely every two weeks.
