Usually off-site backup means a separate drive that's kept off-site (like in a vault/safe deposit box/safe or such) and not connected to anything. Maybe someone here has experience with this as well?ĭon't know how you'd connect the remote drive to your in-house drive without some sort of network and I don't think Ethernet would support anything like this at any long distance. I hope there is a better alternative, I've already sent an email to the folks at Bombich and haven't heard back yet.

I would like to be able to have CCC back up directly to the off site NAS drive without having to go through another MAC comp as a middleman.Īnother solution (all be it more expensive) that I have researched online was to buy 2 WD M圜loud Drives, have one here at the studio and the other off site, then use CCC to backup to the local WD M圜loud and then have the local M圜loud backup to the remote M圜loud through the WD app. Do you (or anyone else out there) know if this is possible through CCC? So far it looks like only remote backups to other Macs are supported for off site backups. I'm actually thinking of purchasing a 6TB WD Mycloud to use as an off site backup. Different formats and different physical locations. I use CCC for the once-a-day backup of all my drives. Time Machine is nice for the occasional file (especially something you just deleted accidentally). I really do like using multiple strategies. But I still use it on an attached USB3 drive. It would work just fine-right up until it didn't. I never was successful with Time Machine on a NAS and I gave up trying. But I'd imagine that would be a problem with any software. The images can get large unless you make provisions in CCC to purge older stuff. If you're backing up a bootable drive, CCC recommends you back up to a disk image. I've used Carbon Copy Cloner (on WD network drives) for several years and have found it to be solid and frequently updated. No experiences with Chronosnyc as well but it looks interesting. OS drive later when the clients are out of the studio. I guess CCC is widely used among audio guysīecause you can immediately continue to work by running your system from the external drive and care for your damaged To be honest I´ve never used Super Duper. Goes south), Carbon Copy Cloner will be the way to go. If you want to be able to run the backup system from another, external drive as well (in the case your OS drive completely I think if you don´t need to have a parallel system but only a backup to restore your system on your OS drive and youĪre on OSX El Capitan, Time Machine should do the job. I did a backup for a friend a few weeks ago with Time Machine on an El Capitan system and everything went well again. That´s why I changed over to Carbon Copy Cloner which Happened to be issues with Time Machine from time to time.

If Time Machine does work properly it is the most convenient way I know personally but since Mavericks/Yosemite there

Hi I just set up a Western Digital M圜loud on my network, was wondering what Mac software was best for backing up to it, Super Duper, Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine.
