![]() Projects come and go, but APV are memories that can’t be “done again”. Side note - I have also been tempted to just delete everything and only keep the Audio, Photos and Video Libraries. It’s frequent enough I wouldn’t put at cold storage. I go back to them occasionally either due to see if this is a duplicate or at someone’s request. The next question is how often do you go back to them (maybe glacier would be better). I continuously add each week to these growing projects. The only thing I would be able to regain would be my PDF Reference Library, because it’s a shared folder on several services. I highly recommend Arq and encourage others to give you their opinion.Īs far as what I am backing up, been there, done that.Įverything here would be non-recoverable again if something were to happen to my Backup Strategy. And because Arq data files are identical, I can add to or restore from my existing Arq backups (dating back 7 years) on S3 using Mac or PC. I always format my external drives with exFAT so they can be used by a Mac or a PC. My iPad has been my primary computer for nearly a year and I have no need for another Mac.Īrq is now available for Windows and I’m considering purchasing an inexpensive micro pc for backup only. ![]() If identical files were present in multiple directories or on multiple drives, Arq only backed up one copy.īecause I’m a cord cutter, I configured it to only run between 11PM and 7AM so backups didn’t interfere with streaming.Ĭurrently, I’m debating what to do about backups now that the mini is gone. One of Arq’s features is to ignore any volume that isn’t mounted so it didn’t complain if one or more drives were disconnected when a backup started. Others were attached from time to time and synced via ChronoSync with directories on the internal and external storage drive. One USB drive was used as extra storage and constantly attached to the Mac. I had it configured to backup the two internal drives and multiple external USB drives. Yes, Arq ran constantly on my old 2011 Mac Mini until a few days ago when the mini died. ![]()
