![]() ![]() Bvckup 2 Pro seems to fit the bill so far. It's similar to what I had been doing on my Mac, but since Carbon Copy Cloner does not work on windows, I had to find an alternative that was equally simple, and could schedule automatic backups. And then I back that 8TB drive up to backblaze. I basically have an 8TB HDD that backs up all the smaller/faster drives that I process stuff out of. It took me a while, but I think I finally got my system of backups in place on my Surface Book. So yes it's good to always have a cloud based backup, because you never know when the most unimaginable crap will happen to your physical drives. That's a story for another day, but until I could sort out migrating my files off my old hard drives into a brand new drive formatted in exfat, I had to lean on my backblaze cloud backup to restore files that I needed immediately.include​d a raws from wedding I was still processing and photos from my trip that I had been editing each night. I've had close to a month of data drama with my external drives being locked in APFS (thanks Apple!) and not being able to read them on my windows machine. So my macbook died when I was in Florida a couple of weeks back.was driving home on Cyber Monday and picked up a Surface Book on the way home. Read all my FAQs (wedding, printing, lighting, books, etc) Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications. I suggest either CloudBerry backup (nice GUI, technology decent but not awesome around deduplication and such) or Restic (advanced to use but great features, though missing compression) Macrium Reflect is great for backing up whole disks, but I don't like it for regular / daily backups. I found a few bugs with Arq on Windows, and didn't like it was just one guy. Would that work if I were to make only local backups? And then I can take those backups and move to the cloud? If I remember correctly a while back you had mentioned Macrium Reflect 7. I will try few incremental backups and see what happens and then try to restore it. Right now I did full backup of my catalogs (just to see). I wish I could give names to the backups to help later when I need to restore. ![]() ![]() The option to make backup on a USB drive is not shown but it is there, I had to use keyboard keys to select the hidden radio button. I tried Arq, the interface on windows was clumsy. The documentation mostly covers Linux so it may cause a little frustration, but once you get it set up and working it's fine. ![]()
