Carbon copy cloner vs crashplan mac#
Mac client is minimal and cool, and it “just works”. Backblazeīackblaze is a beautiful, sleek guy who says “don't worry about it bro”. Let me first explain why I said no to Backblaze and Crashplan. Most of the things I work on daily are on Github (personal and work), Dropbox (personal) and Google Drive (work).
Local backups with Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner.Offsite backups with Arq (Dropbox and Amazon Cloud Drive).For now my backup strategy looks like this: So, if all of your files are on your computer, then you need two external hard drives and a remote hard drive (maybe one at work, in another house or in the cloud). That's the idea that in the perfect world you need at least 3 total copies of your data, 2 of which are local but on different devices, and at least 1 copy offsite. I'm not gonna go all “3-2-1 backup” on you.
While my body after medical treatment is not the same anymore. Recovered data is precisely the same as lost data, so it's not really lost anymore. With data backup, I can be pretty sure I will get everything back as it used to be, effectively travel back in time. Medical insurance, for example, is sort of like that, but not really that good. There are so few aspects of life where you can actually do that - pay some money (not much, too, which is great), and get some peace of mind. I prefer to think about this stuff as an insurance.
Well, yes, it will fail inevitably as you use it for years, but the truth is - you'll more likely switch computers before your drive fails.īut the truth is, it's extremely unlikely that you'll ever need a backup. Good old magnetic, noisy, spinning monsters.īackup evangelists love to say how “your HDD will fail, it's inevitable”. Screens, keyboards, mice, even fans have died over the years, but not hard drives. I use computers every day since, gosh, I guess 5th grade, and never ever did any hard drive fail on me. And those weren't really backups, more like archives on external HDD's. I didn't do backups for the most of my life, except for some photos and videos here and there. I'm not going to try to convince you to backup data.
