Help with Backup System

[bkasko]

I never needed a backup system before as I had redundant hard drives so if one failed the other one would still work. I did backup to external hard drives just as an extra measure and it also made it easy if I wanted to take the drives with me to scrap on my laptop. But I am getting a new computer and it will not have redundant hard drives so I am looking for a way to make sure I don't lose my scrapbook supplies, photos and also the scrapbook pages I make and print for the grandkids books. I have a few files that I would also want to backup but the majority of what I would backup would be related to scrapping. I am not computer savy and have looked as some of the options but it makes my head spin. Does anyone have any advice.

I use CrashPlan, I have used them for over 10 years and the service has come in handy more than once. It is $10 per device. I have an EHD, my old MacBook and my current MacBook on my account. So I pay $30 per month. But of course, I can remove any of the devices to bring my cost down, if I no longer need that backup.
It is unlimited cloud based storage. It is a bit slow syncing. I don’t grab stuff off it often. It is more like a deep storage system.

I also use iCloud. I have the 2TB for $9.00 a month plan. I use that for seamlessly moving from my iPad to MacBook while scrapping. It is fast to auto sync and I use it daily for my scrapping and additional backup of files I want a backup of and that I access often.

While it is redundant, I sleep well knowing I have everything safe and secure.

I have a network attached storage device which has a raid system installed with mirrored data.

FormbyGirl - I will have to ask me son in law about this as it is way over my head in the way of tech knowledge.

I had been using iDrive (a subscription service) but have ended that when the rates increased. I also saw that Amazon Prime has photo storage. Has anyone tried that option? Would love to hear your experience.
