![]() For under Rs 10,000 per month, 3 users can share proxies up to 3 TB, and keep their FCP X libraries in sync over the cloud. If they only need to be able to occasionally share files, and never work on the same files, then its more cost effective to provide each user with sufficient local storage, and have them all connected over a fast network (not WiFi).Īnother interesting new cloud shared storage service is Postlab. That didn’t work out as neither was interested.Īnyway, for 40TB of data which is shared between more than 3 users, who have to access the same media at the same time, a NAS is needed. With the backup ‘seeded’ with shuttle drives, and then only updated online. In fact, for these very use cases, in the last NAB I went to (2019, which was the last NAB anyone went to) I had meetings with Backblaze as well as Wasabi to figure out if we could work out a cloud backup structure based in India for Indian users. Or how many users currently connect to your present server.įor 40TB of data, I don’t think Backblaze is a viable option. I’ve had similar challenges in temp and dust.Ībout your server, you haven’t mentioned what kind of a server and how you connect to it. I’m in Mumbai too (Andheri W), so we have similar climates. From your profile and web site it looks like you’re in Mumbai (Thane). And I too had to move my setup home in March as well. ![]() In either case, you’ve provide at least a minimum of geographical (and hopefully power grid) separation between your data while making it easily available at both ends. If you have a high speed service, you could take the disk route and place a low-cost disk array in both locations and then use something like rsync to keep both side sync’d so that you always have the same data available in both locations. Can be stored safely offsite in a vault or even duplicated to provide a geographically distant deep archive.Īnd with appropriate connectivity (TB 3 or SAS) at home and your studio, you can carry the tape device between the systems so you only need a single tape device.Īside from that, you don’t mention the network capabilities between your home and studio.The initial cost of entry may be a bit frightening, but the long term costs and peace of mind will pay off quickly.įor 40TB of data, you could use 7, 6TB LTO-7 tapes that are – Of course, my initial recommendation would be to look into an LTO tape solution. However, I have UPS and inverter backups to take of that.Īny insights from the experienced? Many thanks in advance. India gets hot up to 40 deg Celsius during the day. keeping the air conditioning or even the ceiling fan all night may get expensive. If I keep the new NAS in the studio unattended, I worry about any fire hazards, cooling at nights. Now I am thinking of buying a NAS 40 TB+ that will work as backup as well as cloud storage, so I can work anywhere. ![]() I heard some negative reviews of indefinite time for restoring data during a crash etc etc… I had originally thought of BackBlaze for unlimited backup of all my 40 TB at $60/y and their B2 cloud storage at $100/y for 1TB for my working data. However I may shuttle between my studio and home. Here in India, the pandemic is almost in the decline. During the shifting, I lost a couple of hard drives too. During the pandemic, I shifted my editing workstation from studio to home.
