One problem, client-side encrypted cloud storage is expensive. I have a few external drives that don’t work most of the time lying around (except my trusty WD 500GB drive, which can do no wrong) so I figured, let me back it up to the cloud. I primarily use Carbon Copy Cloner (absolutely amazing tool) but this time I needed something that allowed me to go back in time, maybe a Time Machine :) bash_profile or my iTerm, Ferdi, Live and Audio Hijack configurations or re-license all my software.
Cryptomator and external hard drives install#
So with my install which I have painstakingly customised to my liking (as a former Windows user who used to love playing with Stardock product trials and Rainmeter), I couldn’t afford to lose my custom. Most of my development work is backed up and so is most of my music. I am a happy hackintosher who likes playing with macOS just as much as the next guy, but I found that my installation of a Kaspersky product would cause the machine to crash an unusual number of times.Īnd while the problem was apparently a misbehaving kav kext, I found that I am in the need of a good backup system. I found myself in the need of backing up my macOS Install. TL DR: Create a sparsebundle disk image, create a Cryptomator encrypted drive, set Time Machine backup to mountpoint of disk image, run first backup, unmount disk image and move it to Cryptomator drive, mount Cryptomator drive automatically on boot and write a script that mounts the disk image from the Cryptomator drive on login If you are working on mission-critical work, please invest in a decent NAS or high quality USB 3.0 storage drives
Warning: This is more-or-less for setting up an off-site non-critical redundancy for peace of mind and is not a replacement for an immediately available on-site backup.
