Hi everyone,

I could use some guidance as I'm unsure what the simplest and low maintenance solution is for me. I'm looking to purchase an external HDD to backup the following:

  1. Macbook
  2. 1TB SSD with my travel photos to be edited
  3. 1TB SSD with my partners travel photos to be edited
  4. 2TB SSD with music libraries for music production (Kontakt, Omnisphere etc)

At first I was thinking of buying a 8TB external HDD and just backing everything up via Time Machine by having it all plugged in at once. However people online had also mentioned CCC and I'm unsure how that works? I was also hoping to back this all up to a portable HDD but it seems that 8TB HDDs can only be plugged in is that true? I'm not interested in NAS etc. as this is too complicated and expensive for me.

As a sidetone I'm also planning on backing up to BackBlaze as well.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
