Dave I hope you channel grows rather quickly because the number of views you get on each video is far less than videos of your quality deserve. You're a great videographer and I'm looking forward to the best for the future
Depending on your needs in terms of backups you can use built in apps in newer NAS drives that will sync to Google Cloud, etc. At work we use AWS Glacier storage and Deep Glacier, but that needs a little bit of work to get the sequencing setup, costs almost nothing to store but it’s when you want to pull data off it gets a little pricier.
I currently have everything I've ever done on a 10tb drive because of the big move to Canada. Yes, it's one of the reasons I don't sleep well at night 😂. I still have the "old" drives back in England (incase one failed in the move i copied everything to one chonk of a drive.) But there is still a lot of stuff that is only on this drive. I've just bought another big drive in boxing day sales but I definitely like the 1 drive a year thing. Pretty sure thats the same thing that Paddy Mcgrath does. I did have an ad for backblaze recently and I'll probably sign up for that. It's cheaper than It was when I last looked at it!
Oooof yeah, storing everything on one drive is a little scary to me. I just started buying a drive per year as it all seemed to come together quite nicely. I don't have to worry about copying everything off of it at once either. backblaze does seem like a great option too.
Dave, get rid of that Cloud WD, get a Synology or Qnap...and if you dont want to rely on a cloud, there is some linus techtips video which tells you how to set up a drive on a buddies synology, so you can help each other out on that for the third option of backup...
I’ve used backblaze for years, can’t recommend it highly enough. Depending on your upload speeds though it can be a bear to do the initial upload. Like weeks.
I will look into that, I have a pretty decent upload speed 300mb/s but I'd rather not sit there and leave my laptop running for weeks. I will check it out though.
I handle my data little bit different, but i wouldn‘t say it is the better way. I usually have one external harddrive with all the data. And than i have two separate Fileserver, wich make an Backup of my first harddrive. So if one fails, i have two copys. I do the same with the data on my phone n my macbook.
@@ShootingDave i do it mostly like this, because i like traveling a lot and don‘t want to have too much stuff in my backpack. But i also want to have all my data with me, because you don’t know, what you need and when. And if you lost once data because of an corrupted SD card, you start to make as much copys as u can. One of the fileserver is cloudebased, so i can access it from everywhere. Btw, this would be a nice topic for a future video. Something about File recovery.
@@sebthecrab6119 yeah I always keep my SSD on me and I have access to the WDMyCloud via the app or the internet too if I need anything else. Thanks for the topic suggestion, good idea, maybe I should get some other photographers to feed into it.
Awesome pointers, thanks! I use pCloud for my online backup.

I wish there were more people like you. Thank you man!

Sounds good to me man, I’ll check it out, thanks
Nice one Dave!
Cheers man, hope you’re well
@@ShootingDave all good mate, youre a natural on camera, keep at it!
Haha, I just do a bunch of takes 🤣

Awesome, the WDCloud is ok but far from perfect.
Thanks Dave, good advise this.
You’re more than welcome
