I want to keep my Mac Pro 5,1 constantly backing up. It has 3 internal hard drives.
1) 1TB SSD Boot Drive
2) 2TB HDD
3) 4TB HDD
- There are spare SATA bays inside the mac which I could do a Time Machine or RAID 1 backup, but that won't be safe if my Mac gets stolen.
- I could have a network attached through the powerlines in my house with a NAS Drive locked and hidden at the other end of the house, and use Time Machine to backup (I believe Synology DiskStation can do this), but this isn't protected from fire burning the house down.
- I could buy some Google Drive storage but it costs A$125/month for 10TB- too expensive for me. And if a file corrupts on my computer it will upload the corrupted file and I lose the original. This is why I prefer Time Machine. Also, my upload speed is 4.5Mbps.
- I had the idea of having a NAS Drive at my parents house who live 150km away and have my mac hard drives constantly backing up to it over the internet (if this is even possible?? still, I'm limited by my upload speed)...
So I'm out of ideas. What do you guys suggest? I do video editing and will most likely need to backup more, larger files in the future so there's that too.
