Having had a near disastrous hard drive crash, I realize that I need to get my ass in gear and set up a backup solution. To that end, I purchased two 1TB hardrives and a Vantec NexStar external enclosure from NewEgg for a RAID 0 setup.
All is running fine, however, I was thinking that there must be some one-click solution to be able to work with files in a folder on my computer and - when I liked - have it sync to the external enclosure. This way, I don't need to run the external enclosure all the time and work with files directly on the enclosure.
Does anyone currently make use of a setup like the one I envision? Something different, but equally useful/convenient? If so, I'd love to hear how you've got it running? There may be some storage arrangements that I haven't even considered that could be amazingly useful for me.
Does anyone make use of an external setup and cloud storage? That seems to be the ideal arrangement, but I can't yet see an arrangement where syncing is truly convenient. Dropbox has it down when it comes to computer<->cloud syncing, but that third arm, namely computer<->enclosure or even cloud<->enclosure isn't there. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks!
