In for one.
Most professionals serious about digital asset management use a 3x or 5x strategy. (Larger and more involved for a multi employee business)
Main OS nvme ssd and a possible 2nd or third ssd for scratch discs (video editing)
The five simple (and it doesn't cost much in 2020+) backups areβ¦.
- Internal PC HDD
- 2nd internal PC HDD
These are just cold storage. And if your device is small, like a tablet or laptop you just use the remaining 3xYou NEVER want to use main OS nvme drives as cold storage for large files you rarely use. Google anandtech and you will see detailed articles outlining how ssds slow down as they fill up. Always separate your data.
- Off site HDD - friends house or safe deposit box
- Encrypted cloud hosting (primarily for personal docs smaller in size - no need to backup your 4k HDR 12 bit 6 hour cat videos)
- And one or more of these or anything similar - these sit on your desk or dresser on in a prepared escape pack. This storage acts as a fast "oh shx t" drive when the poop hits the fan and you or your family need to evacuate. And use these as the easiest transport method to other devices.
There are lots of variations of the above but there are the basics and should be considered a good starting point.The number of friends I have had that have lost "Everything " - and I mean everything to water damage or fires or theft or old failing hardware is staggering.
Don't count on cellphones or Facebook or Instagram or Apple backup (although that's definitely one source to help).
Happy New Year!
