So, today my ioSafe Rugged Portable external hard drive started acting funny...I did a successful repair in the Disk Utility but I have 300+GB of video and files from Logic that I'd like to backup safely somewhere. (It has done this once before)
I've checked out Backblaze since it was recommended to me first. That seems to be ok except I use my external as my primary TimeMachine device and according to the FAQ, I'd have to partition it to protect my files...I'm currently awaiting response from them to see if there's a way I could work around that since I don't want to partiton my drive.
In a nutshell, I want to protect my videos and Logic files only. Nothing else is of concern.
I'm basically looking for something that won't break my pockets for a temporary fix and do what I mentioned above. I'll be buying some upgrades later this year and I'm just trying to hold off until I can purchase another external device that will be used to backup my current drive.
