| Post subject: | New Backup Strategy Required |
My current backup strategy is a mess. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of it, I've just had to wipe drives and start again from scratch. This got me to thinking about getting some sort of large capacity storage device, something like a NAS or some sort of other large capacity external storage device. So, with that in mind, anyone have any recommendations before I start properly looking in to this? Mark |

I've got two WD Mybook Live drives and have never had a problem with them. Sent from my big ass Sony Xperia Z Ultra tabphonelet, using Tapatalk 4. |

I sync my notebook with my iMac and they are both backed up to external drives and a NAS. The notebook is then backed up to the clouds with Carbonite. Sent from my Nokia Lumia 1020 using Tapatalk |

I use Time Machine and Backblaze for my backups. |

I'm not going to use an online backup storage. I'm looking for physical storage that'll be in my own care. There's a Drobo NAS that I've seen but it only supports up-to 3TB drives, which is a bit of a missed opportunity I think. Mark |

Thinking about it, is it only one computer that you're backing up from? If so, what about an external USB drive? Cheaper than a network drive but I'm not sure about speed, (as in whether it's an issue) Sent from my big ass Sony Xperia Z Ultra tabphonelet, using Tapatalk 4. |

Unless you're using gigabit ethernet at home, USB 3 will probably be just as quick as network storage, if not quicker. This is assuming the mac you're backing up from has USB 3 of course. |
