I need a better backup system. Currently I back up all my important data to two 300GB external hard drives; I haven’t set them up as a RAID system as I don’t know how, so while they don’t automatically mirror each other, I manually make them mirror each other by meticulously copying and pasting new items from Drive A to Drive B so I have two drives that mirror each other completely in case one fails. I back up my Macbook using Time Machine, which is pretty easy, but that really only covers what’s on my laptop; emails and various personal files. On the external hard drives, I have over 10 years worth of my professional photographs, including all my scanned negatives, my portfolio, personal files, and miscellaneous data that I’d be pissed off about losing.
As one can imagine, my current method of backing up is tedious. Obviously there’s a better way to do this, so please let me know. However, apart from learning how to back up more efficiently, I also need a way to remotely back up my data. Even though I have things mirrored on two external hard drives, this doesn’t protect my data in the event of a natural disaster, theft, acts of God, catastrophe, etc. I’d love a way to mirror my data on another hard drive that’s preferably 3000 miles away at my mother’s house in Georgia, but I don’t know how. Is such a thing possible? What do I need?
Help me, Obi-Lazy-Kenowebi. You are my only hope.
