I am just taking a quick break from a project that has taken up almost all my free time for the last several days. I suspect there are many 3D artists that, like me, has a vast collection of content and and a growing amount of stored data as we create either more content, renders or both. While it is great to have a massive collection of content the big question is how you ensure you always have such data to hand, something quite pertinent with the closure of the Hivewire3D market place.
For some time my major backup has been thanks to a Network Attached Storage unit which has served me well but now the drives are close to 80% capacity. The NAS is a two disk unit and I have already expanded it once by adding bigger drives so this time I decided on adding a second NAS. That has been my project for the best part of a week, setting it up was breathtakingly easy but transferring data to the unit has been a long laborious process and with that now almost complete I need to rebuild my on going back up plan to make sure all in synched up.
I wonder how the rest of the community deals with the problem and how many do not back up and just trust to luck.
