When it comes to backing it up the backup software deduplicates the data, but not for the initial storage. My only gripe is that it downloads the shared photo album (new in iOS 16) once for each account, and when your photo library is 1.8TB, that suddenly becomes a lot of wasted space. It brings the added bonus of working as a content cache for anything iCloud. I have recently switched to a M1 Mac Mini, and just have each family member sign in to that using Remote Desktop. Also, if every step in my normal 3-2-1 backup scheme has failed and i need to recover from the archive, i probably have bigger issues than retrieving my budget for this years finances. I don't bother archiving documents as everything that is important is stored on government servers anyway, or exists in hardcopy. Every year i make an identical set of discs containing the past years photos, and these sets are stored alongside the USB drives. The drives are stored at geographically different locations, and surface scanned, updated and rotated yearly.Īnd finally, as a "last ditch recovery", i maintain an archive of M-disc Blu-Ray discs that contain a complete copy of our family photo library. I also maintain a couple of USB drives with yearly updated mirrors of the entire photo library. Not mirrors, but proper versioned backups (as in Restic, Borg, Arq, Duplicacy, Kopia, etc). That ARM machine also has the responsibility of making backups, local to a USB drive, as well as to another cloud. Reviewed in the United States on 21 November 2022Not that it helps you now, but i also keep all our family photos in the cloud (iCloud in my case), but at the same time i have a small ARM machine at home that keeps a mirror of the iCloud data. ![]() I am going to send it to my sister, but I think there is a 50/50 chance that it will work (an expensive experiment).īought for my Sister-Glad I tested before gifting 1 of 2 phones works If I were buying it for my phone 1 star, for my old phone 4 stars. Based on testing with 2nd phone, I would have given it 4 stars. At first I had the same problem with it, but by leaving the stick plugged in while I restarted the phone, it then recognized the stick and it worked as advertised. I have an old phone I used before I bought the new one and decided to test it on that one. I am afraid to send it to my sister, because if it doesn't work immediately out of the box, she won't know what to do. I have already been through the tutorial and troubleshooting online, but didn't find a solution. When I use the back arrow, to go back to the main menu, I get this message: "An error occurred selecting the root folder. Back to the phone, I tried a generic USB stick to see if the phone could even detect USB drives. Worked like a charm there, but that is not what I was trying to back up. I thought it was a bad stick, so I tried it on my PC. I did all the things suggested-delete the app and reinstall. Generally, the problem is that the phone doesn't recognize the Photostick drive. I have a fairly new Android phone, so I didn't anticipate any problems. This sounded like just the thing, but I decided I would test and make a little video for her in case she had trouble. My sister is very non-technical, so when she said she wanted a photostick, I knew she was looking for a complete plug and play device.
