My wife works in illustration and I work in written music, and we are looking for a solid backup solution for our files. I don’t have very large files, she has relatively big files, and all need to be backed up daily when we are working on our different projects, in case of computer crashing.
I use an external harddrive and keep a copy of all my scores in a cloud JIC (it’s pretty small).
She has a cloud but her computer is constantly full because I guess the cloud mirrors and is only as big as her computer? We still haven’t figured that out and she screams at her computer a lot. I fully support her in her screaming.
What is the best solution for backing up? After reading about this stuff it seems that the best solution would be the following:
Buy 2 big drives for her, 2 small ones for me. Keep 1 of each at home and the others at a friends house. Back up our work daily (when needed) on our respective drives. Mirror to our other drives every so often. In the time between mirrors, keep all new work backed up on a cloud JIC, to be deleted after mirroring.
Sound like a good system?
