Backups!!
« on: June 18, 2010, 06:18:18 pm »
You can never have enough backups!!

I was interested to know what your backup strategies are?.......

Heres mine....



32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC Card - I use this in my MAC for extra storage, or in a USB Card Reader to move things to any other PC etc.
640GB My Passport Studio - Used via FireWire800 on my MAC to backup files, or as a storage area for anything Im working on.
4TB My Book Studio II - Set up in RAID so one disk mirrors to the other just in case 1 fails! Used via Firewire800 to backup everything on the Passport Drive, and has all my Movies, PS3 Backup, and other stuff I keep as storage.

Im looking to buy an Airport Extreme Base Station now, and will connect the 4TB drive onto my network so I can access it wirelessly.

So thats it!
As you can see I take backups pretty seriously.

So what about you?

My OS X Server machine has two 3TB drives, set up in RAID, plus I have the same 4TB WD drive as you, also set up in RAID as a Time Machine back up.
