Re: How do you backup?
I think you misread, I have the original recording drive, that is backed up to two internal drives, and one external drive nightly, leaving me 4 copies of my sessions physically connected all the time to the computer. The drive I backup once a week is only ever connected to either the computer or electricity when it’s being used to backup that way I never have to worry about lightning strikes or surges.

Re: How do you backup?
Cloud based backup! Doesn't matter how many local drives you have hooked up, not hooked up, etc. If your house burns down, or if you're robbed and they get all the disks....
I keep an offsite backup that I update once every week or two, but if you really want piece of mind, you need a cloud based backup. There are a bunch, Carbonite, Backblaze... |

I run three external drives which I backup to on a weekly basis. One for OSX, one for sessions and one for samples. The external samples backup drive is also where I keep onhand all program installers so if needs be I can do a reinstall without having to scour the net and hopefully find the version I need. That is the one thing I never see people talk about when backing up and that's to save off to an external drive the program installers. Saved my bacon more than once |

I have 4 internal drives in my MacPro. One System, one Sample, and two that backup Audio/Video/Installer Giles “ONLY”. My system drive and other non Audiu/Video are backed up to a second external drive. My points here are for Audio/Video backups only. As far as cloud, I have 3TB of Audio/Video data, it’s impractical. It takes forever to upload and the only viable way to get it all back in a timely manner is for them to to put it in a hard drive, which they charge me for, and mail it to me. Been there, tried that, moved past it. All of my everyday non Audio/Video files are backed up to Google Drive, but not my audio and video files. |
