Good morning!
I want to backup all of my external drives daily. I want a local backup on hard drives, as well as an online backup. Below is my proposed plan. Does anyone have a better idea, or an idea that will save me money?
$200 Mac Mini on ebay
360 Three 3 TB western digital drives
25 USB hub
30 SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
6 per month Crash Plan http://www.crashplan.com/
Then I will set it to backup every night before I go to sleep - and every night I will just plug all of my drives into it. SuperDuper! will give me the local copy on the 3 WD drives, and then I will set crash plan to backup those 3 WD drives (and leave them plugged in all the time, since that will be an online backup and will go slower - I will plug it in to the router though so it won't have to go wifi).
What do you think?
Is there a better way?
