#Arq vs duplicacy plus
Arq takes around 10 mins to scan all my data on my internal drive plus more if I have my external drives attached as well. It is definitely much faster than Arq for backups. We will see.Īs for my current testing, I have been pretty impressed with Duplicacy.
I am looking into something like B2 or Wasabi. I am also thinking about having another offsite backup. Arq backup every hour to raspberry pi for all my files (I am actually also testing, Duplicacy, to see if it fits my needs better). So basically what I am trialling right now isġ. The desire to replace TM as the method to back to the network share was partly driven by what I read about it's unreliability backing up to sparsebundles. So I got a new MacBook and I thought I should maybe start over with my network backups as I did a clean setup. Arq backup every hour to onedrive for all my important files TM backup every night to an external hard driveģ. TM backup every hour to a network share (raspberry pi) for all my files including the data on external hard drivesĢ. So with my old MacBook I had a set up like thisġ. Yeah, I don't think I was very clear in my long winded explanation Good and Thank you so much for your replies. On my main iMac, I also image my system disk to an external using Carbon Copy Cloner, so this gives me a "hot spare" system ready to go if my main internal HD fails. I use TimeMachine backing up to a NAS for convenience, but my primary backup strategy involves backing up my clients with Arq to a local NAS as well as to the cloud (Backblaze B2). You asked for advice, so I can share what I do. Using a RPi4-based NAS would only add to my concerns about robustness/ reliability. TM backups rely on sparsebundles (which comprise many small files), and so I believe there are some reliability concerns, especially when backing up over a network. That said, there are some who question the reliability of TimeMachine backups. Counting the main copies of your files on your MacBook and its external HD, that gives 3 (or 4) copies, 3 different media, one offsite. So in your case, you have backups on the SMB share, possibly an external HD using TimeMachine?, and offsite on OneDrive. These are minimums for best practice having more than this is even better. The 3-2-1 strategy states that you should have 3 copies of each file (at least the ones you care about), on 2 different media, with 1 offsite. You have the basics of a 3-2-1 backup strategy here. A few comments from my side, based on this understanding:
