Hi all,

Anyone got some advice on the best way to go for FCPX library backups?

Are physical drives the best option or is Cloud backup worth exploring?

We have a pretty fast connection - 100Mb / 100Mb.

Advice very much appreciated.

You want to backup the full Library full of stuff and junk? Hard drive.

Roger that. Can you recommend a drive with around 12TB to 16TB?

MacSales.com has great quality drives as decent prices. For a backup drive, you don't need speed or anything. Get a USB 2 with 5200rpm drives if it saves money. Use Carbon Copy Cloner. The initial backup will take overnight, but after that it's doing incremental backups and will take 15-20 minutes. That's how I do it here. Been running like that for 4 years now with no issues at all.
