Over the years, I have accumulated terabytes of image files and video files. In this post, I’ll describe how I back up and safeguard my images and videos.
I store my files on a primary file server.
The primary file server synchronizes with the secondary and two cloud backup providers.
The secondary file server is the primary server for the trail camera images and videos.
Trail camera images and videos are not synchronized to the primary file server but to cloud backup providers only.
File servers
File servers are running Windows OS.
Data disks use RAID-5 protection.
File servers are located in two separate physical locations.
File sync
File sync over VPN is on-demand bases.
The secondary file server is not online 24/7.
For VPN, wireguard (https://www.wireguard.com/) is used.
Cloud backup providers
Jottacloud (https://www.jottacloud.com) and LiveDrive (https://www2.livedrive.com) are used for cloud backup.
Both subscriptions are for unlimited space.
