I remember a lot of people before when my hard drive failed told me that I could do a couple of amazing things with backing up data. What stuck out is two things... 1. Software that will backup your data live via a cloud solution or over the internet without having a corporate cloud product. 2...

Aw. Well I guess this is a lost cause. Well at least I have some closure. I mean the silver lining is that this was non critical data however, data none the less. I wouldn't of minded having it however, not life altering. Thank you very much for clarifying. I could of sworn I had a backup of...

There are two drives. I believe in non raid format because when everything was working it showed up as 12TB and not 6TB. Oh, my good point. I believe both drives connected showed up as one drive. What does that mean? How could it be raid if it was not duplicating the drives? I mean is there...

@fzabkar Is my Hero still around?

I have this: WD 6TB My Book Duo Desktop RAID External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBLWE0060JCH-NESN 2 Bay, 6TB Personal Cloud Storage includes 2 x 3TB HDD User selectable RAID 0/1 or JBOD lets you configure your drive for more speed (default setting: RAID 0), data protection (drive...

wait that is kind of sexy. So lets say I want to clone a drive of say 8TB to another drive. Stock loaded with music. I clone it live and repeat the backup nightly or once a quarter. Current drives dies, I just mount the clone drive and its like a live drive?

Thank you, I will look into that.

That sounds sexy. Yeah. I think I will join everyone with the manual off storage stuff for critical files. maybe a 10TB something hard drive for everything critcal. maybe a couple of these. one at a family members house, or safety deposit box, one in a closet. 8 bay NAS set up for everything...

Yeah, I'm sure you remember, I had a close call that literally was recovered by a miracle. I just have a lot of DATA that I want to back up however, I don't want it necessary in an archive format however, I might need to drop that requirement.

What software is that? Looks pretty elaborate. Yeah, that is a great point about critical data, car, safe deposit box and moms. I like it. I need to get all of that done asap. I think I am leaning towards two towers, one at home via NAS auto back up and one at another location in case the...

That is good news. I might need to look into a NAS backup for every day stuff like that.

I see. So I Sense that you don't like cloud storage as well because of privacy concerns. This is a pretty good backup system. However, I would not be okay with losing my music library due to house burning down. Maybe, buy a second NAS 8 bay storage tower and keep it somewhere else safe besides...

Also I am putting together the idea from everyone that I think the best overall and safest solution is this: Have two 8 bay storage towers. Have all your DATA on one of the towers. Next, put all of your DATA on the second tower. Take second tower to one of your family houses and leave it...

Okay, so you don't really have an essential cloud storage option. You have something like an 8 bay 65TB solution to where all your DATA is. Lets say one hard drive 8TB has critical pictures, documents, etc. You take one drive and back that up and put it in another location i.e. your cloud...

I know. Everyone is suggesting NAS, VPS, SMB etc... However, what happens if your house burns down?
