I've never had issues restoring, just occasional glitches while backing up (because it doesn't properly prune old files, for me at least, I usually have to format my backup drive every 6 months or so). Quite frankly I'm amazed how many people don't backup - even with time machine.

My routine doesn't even cover the routines we use for our code repos and databasesĪlso own a company company as well, and I'm fairly paperless (although I have hard copies of a lot of stuff as well). I'm lead dev for a company that deals with a ton of private info - and I work out of my home office - so I take backup safety and security incredibly seriously. Simple home dir rsync basically, to an encrypted container, uploaded via SSH.

Monthly encrypted backup to a secured server I have.

Weekly time machine backup to an encrypted external HD, which is locked in my safe the rest of the week.

Crash plan, with a custom encryption key (which I why I love crashplan, vs other guys).

If I was going to do that, I'd put the enclosure into a "zip-lock" plastic bag with some moisture absorbing silica stuff, if I was going to keep it in the car. Add required info (password, etc.) as prompted.Īctually, the price on SSD's has come down to the point where one might use an SSD in an external enclosure instead. Just right-click on it in the finder and choose "Encrypt." from the contextual menu. I use CarbonCop圜loner to create and maintain my backups.ĬCC has a help page to guide one through the encryption of a boot partition, if you need to use it.Īdding encryption to the non-boot "files partition" is easy. And if for some reason the OS gets munged up, chances are my files partition will survive intact.Īctually, the flashdrive above is large enough to hold them both, so I partitioned it, too.

Instead, I have always kept a separate partition for my "files", as distinguished from the partition that the OS itself resides on.īecause it's smaller (the Mac OS takes up more room than most people imagine), it's also VERY quick and easy to back up. I don't keep my "main" files (my day-to-day personal and financial files that are most important to me) in my home folder (on my internal hard drive). I found a drive on amazon, just by poking around:

Since storage space is at a premium, forget Time Machine - it's not going to work. What/how do you backup? Just copy files? TM? CCC etc ]] What waterproof drive did you get, good idea to just keep in car suppose. Otherwise the TM would be ok, or if that failed, still have the actual iMac until backup again from the iMac.ġ) who uses a crashplan type backup providerĢ) who has an offsite backup and what typeģ) how do you do the backup, use an external HDD, what protection do have for it if so, password, encryption etcĬan the TM sparse file just be copied to an external HDD and this be used for an offsite backup?

ARRSYNC REVIEW MANUAL

Now I know it won't be as upto date as using crashplan, know it's not as safe, more manual operation to complete, but this backup to crashplan is only if the absolute worse happens and lose the house in a disaster. However I'm now thinking of not renewing crashplan, as although it runs in background etc, maybe just use an external HDD and copy the TM backup to that and keep at work or relative and do every few weeks.

I also subscribe to crashplan and have it backed up to the cloud. I have an iMac and backup using Time Machine to a Time Capsule.
