The old primary backup drive becomes the new secondary backup drive. The business files (her accounting data, website source code, etc.) are additionally backed up to an offsite cloud backup service.Įvery year I buy a new terabyte drive and make it the new primary backup drive. And then I back it up again to a different secondary terabyte USB drive. The entire system gets backed up nightly (via rsync) to a primary terabyte USB drive. The OS I don't backup at all since everything I need data-wise is on a corporate server.įor my personal stuff, I have a mixture of a large media library, and my wife's business files. That file I backup locally, to a connected USB drive, and to a NAS. While I keep multiple copies, I need to work out some kind of better offsite solution as well.įor work I run Windows 7, but do my work in an Ubuntu virtualbox. The most important thing I have are my photos - they are priceless and irreplaceable. Also, with about the same frequency, a second superduper clone to a container file on a storage drive at home. Usually ever few weekends, at least once a month - also triggerred if I dump some new valuable data on to the machine and/or am planning to put the machine at higher risk (eg: travel). A bootable clone of the laptop using SuperDuper to a pocket drive. Photos get moved to the main photo library on the main mac desktop (where normal backup takes over) THe laptop, which I use more often, but try not to keep critical data on for any longer than I have to: On top of that, about once a month I plug in an external drive and the same scripts back up the same stuff to a single drive, and keep it elsewhere.
On top of htat, my photos, documents, and music folders are rsync'd from my main machine through manual scripts to a modest homebuilt fileserver on a fairly regular basis - usually whenever I dump a bunch of new photos in (because in the end, the photos are the really valuable part, and the rest just goes along conveniently) I use macs - so I have time machine running to a Time Capsule all the time. Can't speak for work for confidentiality reasons.
