Tim,
Can one backup the home videos folder to iCloud? That alone is over
300gigs which is about half my iTunes library.

Hi,
Yes, Cloud based is good. Multiple backups in is good, but if all of them are
in the same building, and that building burns to the ground, then it didn't
matter how many backups you have. There are a number of Cloud backup services
as mentioned, but I've determined lately that I don't really need to go there.
I've bumped up my iCloud storage plan and have iTunes Match. So, all my photos
are backed up in iCloud, iTunes Match keeps all my music in iCloud, my Desktop
and Documents are automatically in iCloud, and my apps and MacOS are easily
downloadable either from the AppStore or the Net. With the mega-iCloud storage
plan, I even have my wife, my daughter and my Dad all sharing the same storage
plan with lots of room to spare.
Later...

Cloud based. Maybe I am too old fashioned but it might be worth looking
into. After updating iTunes to 12,7 I had to switch to iCloud backup for my
iDevices but I am still well within the free 5gigs. The Mac is a different
story.

Hi
Time Machine is already doing exactly what you are describing, it only makes
backups of changes as you go along on a daily basis.
Personally I would say for your needs you don’t have to look at anything else,
Time Machine does its thing very well and in the background. If you want to
take your backups to the next level, I would however recommend you look at a
second backup option, a back up to your back up if you like. The second backup
solution is usually Cloudbased and off site as in not in your home or office.
There are a lot of cloud-based backup services out there, it all depends on
your needs, how much you are willing to spend, and how important your data is
to you.

Time Machine does this. I also use Carbon Copy Cloner 5. It too will do
incremental backups. It offers a scheduling option as well which I will set up
later. CCC is not the easiest application to navigate but once you have created
tasks and set the scheduling options, its pretty much hands off.

Hi,
So, I am finally doing backups on my mac. right now, I am using time machine.
I know there are other solutions out there, and am wanting feedback about them.
What I eventually want is for the back up solution to do a backup, then only
update the backup when new things happen or are added. Is there something out
there to do this? Can time machine do this?
thanks!
