A few review reads later, I found myself trying Acronis True Image Backup. And I wanted something that would just work out of the box. I was not too picky on price, as I know features and storage are expensive.
And the ability to store more than a couple of terabytes on the cloud solution (I have over 1TB of RAW shots!), even at a premium. I didn’t have particularly high requirements: I wanted a backup solution that would do both local and cloud backups - because Microsoft has been reducing the featureset of their FileHistory solution, and so relying on it feels a bit flaky. The second problem was that of course most of the people I know are tinkerers that like rube-goldberg solutions such as using rclone on Windows with the task scheduler (no thanks, that’s how I failed the Glacier backups).
The first problem was finding a backup solution that would actually work, and that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. But when I noticed the lacking backups, I decided to put that on hold until the backup problem was solved. My original plan for last week (at the time of writing), was to work on pictures, as I have shots from trip over three years ago that I have still not wandered through, rather than working on reverse engineering. Unfortunately the software appears to not being developed anymore, and with one of the more recent Windows 10 updates it stopped working (and since I had set it up as a scheduled operation, it failed silently, which is the worst thing that can happen!) Not a cheap option, but (I thought) a safe and stable one. The main usage of that computer nowadays is Lightroom and Photoshop for my photography hobby.īecause of the photography usage, backups are a huge concern to me (particularly after movers stole my previous gamestation), and so I have been using a Windows tool called FastGlacier to store a copy of most of the important stuff to Amazon Glacier service, in addition to letting Windows 10 do its FileHistory magic on an external hard drive. One of my computers is my Gamestation, which to be honest has not ran a game in many months now, which runs Windows out of necessity, but also because honestly sometimes I just need something that works out of the box.
