Usually, I take one back home and leave one at the office. Here I can quickly create two identical backups of important data, mainly footage. For my backups, I usually use bare HDDs in a docking station like this one.
Backups: On-Site and Off-siteĮxperts say it’s best to have an on-site and an off-site solution. We still had the drive connected as a backup for some template files and some fun photos, but quickly disconnected it as we read about the data breaches.įor my personal backup, sync and transfer use-cases I rely on completely different services though. We have one of these WD Drives at the CineD office, that we used to transfer files to our editors abroad before we switched to frame.io. Taking the recent news of the horrible malware that simply wiped out data from My Book Live NAS drives by Western Digital in account, I wanted to write a little bit about my personal backup solutions and how I fell in love with pCloud – a dropbox alternative with killer features and a really attractive pricepoint. But my quest for cloud webspace lead me somewhere else – pCloud. Everybody knows NAS drives, and everyone knows Dropbox.
