Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from ScottWyden.com. How can I help?
Here are the tools and software Scott recommends or personally uses for secure photo and video backups, based on the posts you’re referencing:
- Local RAID / storage
- Drobo (self‑controlled RAID)
- Synology NAS (network RAID, archival and network access)
- G‑Technology / G‑Drive Thunderbolt 3 RAID (main working drive)
- Additional external desktop drives cloned for redundancy
- Cloning / mirroring software
- Carbon Copy Cloner (Mac) for scheduled drive clones
- Cloud backup and storage
- Backblaze (full computer + external drives backup)
- Backblaze B2 and Amazon Glacier (for NAS to cloud)
- Imagen Cloud Backup (during culling/editing workflow, with low‑res, original high‑res, and optimized high‑res options)
- Organization, culling, and metadata tools (part of a secure workflow)
- Lightroom with Collections and keywords
- Excire Foto / Excire Search (AI keywording)
- Imagen (AI culling and editing plus integrated cloud backup)
Would you like a suggested backup setup tailored for your current library size and budget?
