![]() Now to finish wasting my time making sure that my backups are all working. Maybe I’m being picky, but I think it should backup things if I tell it to, not when it decides to find them.įourth backup not down, but I’m disappointed in you. My problem with this one isn’t the 30 day thing, it’s that I can make changes to or add files, tell it to backup and it immediately will tell me that it’s up to date without backing up files. I have this for worst case scenario reasons like fire, theft, rabid raccoons, etc. It seems to work, but because it’s a cloud service, it only goes back 30 days for deleted files and revisions. I actually just started a new backup about 3 weeks ago on this one. I’ve Googled this one, search numerous Mac/OSX/Apple forums about it and it just seems to be that TM has issues with backing up over wifi and will eventually fail. This thing fails about every two months like clockwork. Again, thanks for nothing.īack to TM and the NAS. I guess it must be backing up more that 300gb, because that’s how much is free. I decided to manually run CCC, it starts, then fails and says the destination drive is full. So I check, I find it’s been running daily, and it’s been failing daily for the past three months. Since this happened, I started thinking, what happened to Carbon Copy Cloner, I haven’t heard from that app in awhile. I run Disk Utility anyway, and sure enough, the drive is now being formatted. Any exceptions to these rules will eventually. Requirements A reliable backup plan has the following requirements. Summary By using a combination of iCloud, BackBlaze, Google Photos, Timemachine, and a few external disks, I have developed a highly reliable backup solution for the most valuable data I own. ![]() It means that somehow the TM file is corrupt and it’s going to format the drive and start again. Without a solid backup plan, it is not a question of IF data will be lost, but WHEN. ![]() Now, you see, I did this about two months ago so I know what it means. (Time Machine allows you to encrypt the disk with FreeBSD, you can use GELI to do the same, or you can use an encrypted ZFS dataset.) Another way to do remote backups is to use the cloud. ![]()
