    PHOTOGRAPHY: How to Back-Up and Protect your Picture Files

    Ok so here’s the video we recorded yesterday showing what ‘my’ Backing Up
    Solution is thanks to +CHNO Technology Ltd

    I say ‘my’ because it won’t be suitable to everyone and we put this video
    together to give you an idea of workflow and also ‘food for thought’
    especially since I have lost EVERYTHING in the past (and yes I waned to cry)

    I may have to re-look at my back-up structure now!

    7:00, What is the single bay unit for, annual archiving? How does it work
    for you?

    Good to hear you’ve found yourself a solid backup solution 🙂

    Always love a gander at other peoples solutions. You can never have the
    perfect system. This has actually made me want to rethink my travel
    solution.

    Glad that works for you. My solution is CrashPlan. Unlimited online backup
    for $60 a year. That combined with a 25 Mb/s upload is great. Thanks for
    the vid.

    Thanks for the great demo, Glyn. I’m really interested in the ToughTech Duo
    system, is it possible to dedicate a speacial showcase for that device in
    the future. Thanks again! :)

    What is the difference between online backup and this backup system? isn’t
    online backup much better?

    What happens if you fill up all 3 terabytes in the lower section of the
    system in other words fill up your whole system

    So just to get my head around this, as I’m about to embark on the dreaded
    backup management system soon!

    The 4-bay drive contains all your files spread over multiple drives. The
    2-bay contain all the data from the 4-bay but mirrored across 3
    interchangeable drives, the 1-bay drive is for plugging in any archived
    drives and the Silver drive is location files mirrored across the disks?

    Cheers

    Your video has lines in it. If you want to fix that, render your video out
    as progressive not interlaced.

    Thanks for sharing. Right now, I’m relying on CrashPlan and a drawer full
    of USB drives. Time for a better solution. You’re right that CrashPlan is
    always playing catch-up in trying to get files to their cloud servers.
    What I didn’t realize was that this meant critical files weren’t getting
    backed up regularly because it was always busy trying to upload the new raw
    files. When I recently needed to restore my Lightroom catalog file, oops,
    it hadn’t been backed up in about three months. And external drives that
    rely on manually copying files are only as good as your discipline in
    making those copies.

    Great overview Glyn I have to agree with the point on cloud backup. 480Gb
    of Data is a years worth of fair usage on most ISP accounts, not allowing
    for any downloads.
