I have duplicacy web setup on my laptop to backup to a local SMB share (which is my NAS server). This backups my entire Mac (documents, files, etc) and then i run copy from NAS to Backblaze B2. That all works fine.
I have a small collection of immutable data (family photos and videos) on my NAS which I would like to start backing up from NAS to Backblaze B2 as well. Initially, i just added a Backup on duplicacy running on my NAS to back the media/photos/videos to Backblaze B2.
But then i started reading about immutable data and how I wouldn’t really benefit from Duplicacy’s deduplication and revision history for photos/videos (since any change to photos/videos would most certainly lead to corruption of the file)
Would I benefit from switching to a simple rclone copy/sync from NAS to Backblaze for my media/photos/videos and only use Duplicacy to backup my macbook? Would I gain much from using Rclone in this scenario if i just want a replica copy of my media on Backblaze?
Or there’s no real benefit of switching to rclone for media/photos/videos and i’m fine backing it up regularly using Backblaze? Probably benefits i see is that if the photos/videos get corrupted on my NAS for some reason, i would be able to recover those files due to duplicacy’s revision history? Don’t see much of a con/anything i’d loose with sticking with Duplicacy in this case.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.
(Just to clarify, i don’t think my media/photos/videos that i want to backup is going to be more than 500-600gigs but it would certainly grow over time)
