Guardian Maximus | Lov’in Our New Back Up Drives

A few months back we purchased new external hard drives to replace our existing drives for our back-up and workflow part of the biz. I gotta say I couldn’t be happier with the Guardian Maximus system. Our current workflow consists of backing-up all of our wedding and project files “4″ times. The new raid configuration allows us to back up our files quicker and with 1.5 terabytes per drive of space we have room to spare. The set up is a RAID 1 mirrored configuration so the redundancy is perfect. The drives are the latest Seagate eco friendly drives, so that’s always cool too.. We picked up two of these guys one that stays online and another that stays offline, rather not even plugged into the wall just in case of any power surges that gets by our power surge protectors, the secondary drives are then mirrored once a month to the online drives. To top things off we further back-up (upload) to an offsite data storage company that we pay every year and then to our time machine external drive that records all of our clients DVD’S. Call us paranoid but we wouldn’t have it any other way when it comes to the safeguard of our clients photos. Well that’s all I have to share from the tech side of my brain, check em out Guardian Maximus we bought ours from OWC Other World Computing.….ec
