Oh, and by the way, about possible disasters…periodically we will have our most cherished photos (.family, loved ones etc.) printed and add them to an actual photo albums. I would also suggest installing a drive health app or program that may give you a heads-up if your drives are starting to fail.
This gives me two sets of backups with worst case being the loss of up to a month. Also, once per month (…more if doing lots of work.) will make an additional copy of the drives on another set of external drives. It will update a full copy of my drives (.my system has two drives…) daily on separate drives…have it set for once a day near the time I typically shut the computer down. My at home solution is a program called ‘SuperDuper!’ which I really like…set it up and forget about it. And before anyone warns about some possible disasters, am not a pro…if a disaster was to hit I would likely have bigger issues to worry about. Several years ago I had my never backed up drive die…talk about heart-wrenching! I don’t like the nickel-and-diming of all these cloud and/or subscription services so prefer keeping everything at home.
Wow, now that I put this into writing it sounds way too complicated, might have to rethink this plan. I only update the external drives once a week so at any given time I have 1 current backup of the c drive, 1 that is a week old and one that is 2 weeks old + 2 ssd drives that are drive clones of c, 1 current external drive that is current with the data and one that is a week old, 1 external drive with a backup of the internal drive that has backups of my data and pictures. I have 8 external HD’s 2 with full backups of the C drive – using Acronis, 2 solid state drives with a clone of the C drive, 1 full backup of the data drive, 2 external drives with a backup of my pictures. D drive only my personal data, another drive with only my photos on it with the LR catalog and pics in a separate folder, last internal drive is just one folder each for a backup of the pictures drive and another for the data drive. c drive has only the operating system (plus a few things my computer decides to place there). I have a desktop with 4 internal hard drives.
