[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1757042, member: 307555"] [B]nishkambharti - chscag[/B] has already done an excellent job answering your questions. I thought I might add in to the discussion and tell you what I do. I do a lot of video and photo work so I understand your concerns for storage and how fast it fills up. Here is how I handle it... For my main SSD I let TM back it up plus I have an external drive that I let CCC clone to as scheduled. I have a second internal SSD, a 2TB external HDD and a 1TB internal HDD that I use to hold project materials I am currently using. The data on these drives is temporary so I don't back them up. I have a Synology NAS that is set as a RAID 6 that holds all my finished video projects, photos, archived stuff, etc. The NAS holds 4 drives can withstand up to two drives failing and I can still recover from that loss. I will tell you storage has been my most vexing and costly component because video files are just so huge. I try to finish a project and make several final versions before I dump any original footage - and some I have to keep! Very very important files are also backed up to the cloud as well.
