(Day 306) - Maintain the Drive

Because CJ and I have many photos that are special to us, we try to keep several backups just in case. It was time for my regular maintenance and CJ's making sure every thing's on the up and up. 😄

LOCKSS - "Lots of Copies Keep Systems Safe"... A sound principle to stand by with any drives. I have a replication system across four 8Tb drives - one is kept off-site in case of fire. If I was to lose my photographs my business would be finished. Well done. Back up; back up; back up...

By the way, a great piece of backup software I have used for nearly twenty years is... https://allwaysync.com/
Very flexible and great for quick backups across drives.

Great image... an efficient helper there!

Glad you have CJ's help!

I like how CJ gets to have a CJ-sized drive to keep as his backup!

@netkonnexion -- what 8TB system do you use? my new computer is 4TB and my drives aren't big enough for hold them easily since they are at most, 4TB.

Good that you have a helper😉

Handy to have him about.

@shutterbug49 - Haha, so fun that you caught that little detail! :D

@netkonnexion - Thanks so very much for the information (as well as the awesome acronym). I've had close calls several times so it taught me the lesson of ensuring I have everything backed up and the back ups backed up. I'm still working on the offsite protection. I'll definitely look into this software as well though!

Great to have him helping you!
