Managing/ backup Data (for Video Production)

[Mixmaster5]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a software that helps me thinks less about backups. I'm a video 

producer and have a lot of external HDDs and data transfer,

My disk setupt:

• 5 x 2 TB external HHDs 
• 12 TB internal RAID 0 (workhorse)
• 256GB SSD scratch disk
• 2 x 3 TB backup drives
• thinking about buying two 4TB drives, which I take home for backups

What I need:

• A software that clones the data: e.g. when I plug in HDD_5 i after a shoot will automatically backup the files to my RAID and the 3 TB backup drive (--> data cloner?)
• A software the recognizes the changed files on e.g. my RAID and backs it up
• A software that does backup in a certain time period of the new/changed files e.g. from my scratch disk
• A software that is very easy and logical to use and setup!
• Maybe a softwarer that works both on Mac and PC (I have a windows workstation and a Macbook in the field)
• freeware if theres anything good otherwise not more than 30$

 

Thanks for your tips.

 

Cheers

There's a function called robocopy built in to windows that may meet your needs if you're interested in doing the research and going through the setup http://www.computerhope.com/robocopy.htm

Thanks for the tip. Though, I'd prefer and easier more intuitive option.
