Getting ready for Haines, huh?
Some on FM have not been a fan of the Drobo. I've read that it can be slow and quirky. Maybe that has changed. I simply use JBOD via thunderbolt/usb3, or the Western Digital My Book Duos.
Your reason for NAS is to easily upload to a cloud?
You don't have a single massive database or anything, but can the Carbon Copy Cloner periodically check the backups for data integrity (ex md5 sum)?
Can Carbon Copy Cloner email you reports with backup success and failures?
Can you automatically sync to your offsite drive? Manually offsite backs do not happen as often as we initially hope.
You back up your entire Mac with Carbon Copy Cloner too?
Does the A7R2 have dual slots? ...Show more →
Hey David,
I've had the Drobo 5N for about 3.5 years now, and it's been flawless for me. I know some people don't care for them, but it seems to be a good solution for those of us who can barely comprehend the simple solutions . I use the NAS so that as a family, we can easily access the media on it from our different computers. In addition to images, we have our family videos on it as well.
Checking data integrity was the one thing I'm not too sure about. I don't believe CCC does that. It can, however, automatically synch to an offsite drive and also send email alerts. I have a bootable clone of my laptop's internal drive that was made using CCC, so yes, it can backup the Mac.
Wish the a7rii had dual slots, but luckily the 1DX does .
