It's been a while since this has been asked. Last thread I found was from 2011. It would be great to get everyone's views as I'm in the market for a full drive back up solution. For photos/video I use SmugMug, Google Photos and Amazon Prime's offering. Thanks!
A D-Link DNS-320 NAS for home backup (mostly pictures and personal videos) and tarsnap for my VPSs or any local data that I want to backup remotely.<p>Where I work we have a 'server' computer running windows. I went for backblaze as an online backup option (full disk backup) because it's easy to use, it has a 'sort' of encryption[1] and it's pay-once save all kind of thing, so I don't have to bother all that much. Oh, also we have great upstream speed at the office so problems there...<p>That said, since my upstream speed at home is limited, the things that I can backup on the <i>cloud</i> are limited.<p>[1] Backblaze's encryption key is submitted on the browser, via JS. Not the <i>most secure</i> scheme you can find. IMHO if you're not worried about state-level espionage that's fine.
All of my data lives on a Drobo to protect from drive failure and synced nightly to Google Drive in case the entire thing gets destroyed in earthquake/fire or is stolen in a break-in.
local machine/work files backed up to external drive with time machine and crashplan.<p>work files copied to an external drive monthly this is also backed up with crashplan.<p>photos to external hard drive and backed up to crashplan and burned to DVDs which are taken to my parents house a few times per year and stored there.<p>We also have physical prints made of our favorite photos.
