Cubit Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I pay a few pounds to have a huge SkyDrive account. Why not let that handle it and sync to multiple machines as well? Also if you have a spare old pc about make it a Linux server and use affa. Depending on the space required i could then back it all up in the cloud, or you could have another at home backing up work. We use that. all data on main server at work. Backed up every 4 hours locally and also in 3 different off site locations. Its incremental backup useing rsync. Saved me a few times See what you mean. That's pretty good value compared to the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergibbons Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm not a fan of block level or drive image backup for home backup. File based backup is a better idea. People care about their data, not their OS and programs or time taken to recover. I like re-installing Windows to clean things out every now and then. I've seen Acronis go wrong often enough when restoring that I'd avoid it. This is what I do to keep my data safe: http://cybergibbons.com/security-2/dont-lose-your-data/ I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:http://cybergibbons.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 And just in case anyone thinks it can't happen, last year I had the backup fail 2 days after the primary, before I could even get the (warrantied) primary replaced...! Not talking business here just MP3s (which were triple backed up) and films (which were not due to 3TB size).... I sure won't be re-uploading all my DVDs anytime soon. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've had 3 SSD's from cruical turn to bricks. All back on SATA for workstations and glad kept my 15k SAS on the VMware hosts. In fairness to Seagate those Cheetah drives get an absolute beating, especially on IO requests from Webway's software and they are solid as anything. I almost needed it when it happened. And that is just one drive on machine. It is frightening how reliant on this tech we have all become. I was in the datacentre the other day and there must be 20,000 servers + in that building and I just couldn't comprehend the disruption and financial loss an outage in that building would cost. Although it costs a killing this is why we have backup on backup on backup as the dataloss would be unthinkable. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
