Just had an external hard drive go slightly bad. I’ve got a mac and Time Machine uses a 1TB External drive. I also use it to store all those massive GoPro video files before editing. A small boy switched off the power at the plug the other day and its been screwed ever since. I can get files off it, but not write to it. I’ve also got a NAS drive which I occasionally manually copy files to which is real slow, Time Machine can’t use NAS drives, very annoying. And my mac hard drive is 3/4 full.
So having been close to losing all my TM backups and several event videos, I’ve proved that I do not have a very good backup plan.
Does anyone?
TimeCapsule, NAS, RAID, Online – does anyone have a good setup for typical 500GB home use ie. opsystem, photos, videos, docs, music..
