So I'm once again running out of storage and was wondering what anyone else does for backup solutions.
I've got multiple external drives which I constantly backup to one another and I've got access to an HP EVA in my office but it's not practical as it's in my office and a pain to use. I've got Dropbox and backblaze? (just started using it)..
So the questions is.. What's your strategy? How do you back it all up?
In the end I think I'm going to have to either build or buy a new RAID NAS Box.
Thoughts?

| I have a NAS box at the other end of the house [Qnap with 12Tb in a RAID5 config - love qnap servers]... local machines copy automagically to it each night. I keep a mirror structure on the NAS box with different logical windows drives (so one for digital, analogue, video e.t.c.). Then I have a set of lightroom dumb collections that kick out DNG files which are then copied to the cloud - This is a VAST subset so only 5 star images. |

Eyes closed. Throw it in reverse. Pedal to the metal and hope for the best. So far, so good. |

| I use Photo Manager Deluxe for archiving pictures. Through the software I can backup to DVD and to the cloud. I also backup to external HD. |

I have all of my photos backed up to an external Hard drive locally and then they are also backed up to a service called Backblaze. For 50 bucks a year they provide me with unlimited back up space, and if a drive crashes they send me one to replace it with what I lost. Currently there is 2.8TB online and active to recover if needed.
