There’s no excuse for not backing up everything, thanks to these hardware solutions for the mac, ipad, and iphone.
As great as Apple’s tablets, smartphones, and computers are, nothing’s perfect. All hardware eventually fails. Your iPhone or MacBook can get lost or stolen. Files can be corrupted. If any of these things happen at a time when backing your data up to the cloud isn’t an option, you’re gonna have a bad day. For a guy like me, who travels as he works, one bad day’s worth of lost data can add up to a ton of lost revenue.
That’s why I always pack some additional hardware to make sure that I can back up my files, no matter where I roam. And if the external drives I rely on also allow me to bring along a whack of music and movies to keep me occupied while I’m on a plane or train? All the better! Depending on whether I bring my 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display or my 9.7-inch iPad Pro with me, you’ll find one of two backup solutions jammed into my backpack: LaCie’s Rugged RAID 4TB (go.macworld.com/lacieruggedraid) for my laptop, or SanDisk’s 200GB Connect Wireless Stick to use with my iPad and iPhone.
FOR macOS
As its name suggests, LaCie’s Rugged RAID 4TB comes packing four terabytes of physical storage, spanning across two 2TB hard drives. Depending on your needs (go. macworld.com/mirroredraid), you can opt to use all 4TB in a RAID-0 configuration, or, if you’re paranoid about your data like I am, set the Rugged RAID up to function as a RAID-1 device. A RAID-1 will write your data to one of the device’s 2TB drives and duplicate it on the second one, essentially backing up your Mac's backup.
