Hi,

I have 600gb of photos and documents stored on my iCloud Drive, yet only a 256gb SSD in my Mac mini.

The photo library is stored on an external hard drive with download originals enabled (which is also cloned weekly. So I have 2 local plus the cloud copy.

Documents on the other hand are stored with optimisation, I.e old and unused are removed on my Mac mini. This is because the macs internal drive isnt big enough to store all the documents locally. I can't see how to move iCloud docs to an external hard drive either.

Any genius ideas how I can setup a backup system for this data?
