      What do you recommend for file backup?

      Actually, let me be more specific:
      I’m looking for a platform to store all my files in one place, adobe and other (word, excel, jpgs, etc.)
      Must include version history and should support Adobe files well.

      Any ideas?

      I am on Mac, I have versioning going on with SmartRevisionContext.jsx from https://targumpublishers.com/indesign-scripts
      I also have TimeMachine constantly running and saving.
      Additionally, I have CarbonCopyCloner saving “flat backups”.
      Also… I have OpenDrive saving the same info to their cloud.
      Overkill? Maybe … but since I learned the hard way, having a file get corrupt at 4am before a major deadline…

      I’d prefer version history via cloud over saving versions on my computer. I like to keep my things neat and organized without extra files.
      Is OpenDrive better than Dropbox?

      I use Dropbox, BackBlaze, and two local full-hard-drive-backups — one with Carbon Copy Cloner and one with SuperDuper.

      Version control? Nothing fancy here… I use “Save As” with file naming (MyFile_1.indd, etc.)
