Looking for a clean strategy for backing up vital data to CloudDrive please.
Up to now I've been using Crashplan for backing up vital data but want to migrate away from them (long story). Data in Crashplan comprises about 3tb.
So far I have a DP (12tb with full x2 duplication) and a CD (2tb) using several OneDrive drives which I can readily enlarge/add to.
My thinking, for simplicity, I would just synchronise my vital data (i.e. not all data) directly to the CD (one way synch with a synch/backup program). But it occurs to me that perhaps a better solution is to add my CD to the existing DP and do some form of folder duplication/balancing of vital data to the CD drives from the DP drives. Is this more optimal? Another alternative is to create a new DP and then include the existing DP and CD. Not sure what added benefit this would give me, but asking anyway.
Data in the CD does not need to be duplicated within the CD (as by definition it will be stored locally and duplicated there and anyway I assume Microsoft's Onedrives are robust). However I need an easy way of including/excluding folders that get uploaded to the CD.
