I do full disk image backups of my half full 1TB OS drive to a HDD every day, and upload archive to remote storage every few nights, so about 1-2 TB a week of uploads.
Then i have my other HDDs backed up once a week, so about 10-20gb of changes a month.
Now i started doing photography as a hobby, and boy, are those raw files large. 24mb each. Last weekend i was on a short trip with friends, 75 GB of raw photos and videos. Gotta back those up, the faster the better.
- speedgoose 6y agoWhy don't you synchronize the files instead of doing full image backups?
- NullPrefix 6y agoSynchronization does not offer benefits of proper back up. Ransomware propagates through sync
- gowld 6y agoHow so?
- majormjr 6y agoIf ransomware starts encrypting your files then the sync will just upload that encrypted data.
- speedgoose 6y agoHow is it different to upload a disk image containing encrypted data? You can also use versionning when you sync your files.
- simplyinfinity 6y agoBecause i want to be able to restore latest working state as quickly as possible, which includes all configurations of all my apps without having to fix missing license keys in the windows registry, setup accounts, and other fiddly settings. I do file backup of my photos, documents, invoices, and other random things I've setup for backup. Edit: add more info
