So here’s the thing that drives me crazy.
Having had a hard disk die on me a few years ago, I’m a little paranoid about backups. I have three:
- Time Machine, over WiFi to a Synology NAS
- Backblaze, “cloud” backup over the internet
- SuperDuper clone to an infrequently connected USB hard disk
Time Machine and Backblaze run all the time, nice, seamless and hopefully pretty complete. I do the SuperDuper clone occasionally and every few months I try to reboot and check that the clone actually works.
