Please critique my backup setup - no need to treat it (or me) gently
After years of procrastinating I have finally a backup setup of my photographs, personal files and music with multiple levels of redundancy:
- Nightly backups to local HDDs which are up 24/7 with SyncBack Pro. Backup is incremental, wipes and starts a new one every week.
- Weekly backup to an offline external USB HDD. Simple backup, adds new files to backup, deletes files deleted from the originating HDD after 90 days. This is to ensure inadvertent deletes not noticed immediately can be recovered up to 3 months later.
- Monthly backup to an offline, offsite HDD. This is to recover from water damage, fire, theft, etc. Full mirror of appropriate folders. I keep it in a drawer at the office.
- Constant offline, offsite backups via Mozy. Mainly for peace of mind and added redundancy. Although they offer unlimited storage, they purge deleted files after just 30 days
One thing I don't have is a daily mirror of C-drive to ensure I could be up and running within minutes of a dead C-drive. Anyone have recommendations for this?
Anything I've missed or should consider?
