I thought that would work until I returned to my computer the following morning, with still lots of data to restore, and I found Backblaze had unpaused itself and deleted almost 20TB of data from my cloud backup. This amount of data takes years to accumulate, and although there may have been a way to have them restore my data from a backup, I decided that I would look for an alternative cloud backup at the same time as figuring out my new local storage strategy.


I decided to buy a Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive, which is more a server than just a hard drive, and I also bought a 10Gbps switching hub so that the information between my iMac and my Synology drive would be as fast as possible, and importantly, faster than my Drobo drives over Thunderbolt. My WIFI network speeds limit what I can do from my MacBook Pro, but I can also access the NAS over the network, which is a big benefit over the Drobo, which had to be plugged into one machine. Of course, I could access files on the Drobo via my iMac if it was turned on, but the transfer speeds were pretty poor compared to my Synology and my current network.


For my cloud storage, after a false start when I was told that they did not have a plan with enough storage space for my requirements, I ended up working with a company called iDrive, who released a 50TB plan shortly after we spoke, and they had point-blank refused to create one. This was annoying, but iDrive was realistically my only option, both from the data volume perspective and because they have a service that they call Express Backup, which enables users to request a hard drive and copy their backup data to the drive and post it back to iDrive so that they can add it to your storage space, and you can then continue to incrementally backup your data.


Once the offline data transfer was finished, I followed their instructions to start my backup, which was supposed to be incremental, just adding new files, but the validation of my data was and still is painfully slow, and for more than four months, it froze every few days. I would then have to restart the iDrive service on my Synology box and start the backup again, but when I do that, it starts from the beginning again. I eventually removed a large chunk of the data I wanted to back up so that the transfer would get to my new photos from this year, which were not yet backed up to the cloud.


So essentially, I am coming up to my eighth month of using iDrive, and I have 46% of my data confirmed as being backed up, despite most of the remaining data being stored on my remote storage already. I doubt this initial network backup will finish by the end of the year, and I believe there is still a chance it may never finish, as I will continue to add batches of images regularly.


If, like me, you need a way to transfer your initial backup on physical drives, you may have no option but to try iDrive, as I did. If that is the case, I wish you better luck than I have had. Let me know how your experience goes if you try them. Also, if anyone, either now or in the future, finds a better alternative, please let me know. I have considered AWS and Synology C2 but cannot do my initial data transfer offline.


I am still using BackBlaze which has been working well for me (with the exception of the time I switched from PC to Mac and they told me that everything has to be uploaded again since they store the two backups in completely different formats). But I am surprised you cannot use Amazon Glacier. As far as I have seen, you used to be able to send them a harddrive with your initial data. Maybe this has changed with AWS, but I am sure their infrastructure is much better than idrive so even if you have to upload everything it still might be faster.


I just went through this. Backblaze B2 and Duplicacy ( ) was hands down the best combo I tested. B2 was the most affordable but also reliable service I found and Duplicacy was hands down the most reboot/interruption tolerant tool I found. Yes, it has to check files when restarting but for my archive this went quickly. I run it in a Docker container on my Synology. There are easy to follow cookbook style guides available for the installation. It did take some trial and error to understand the Duplicacy web interface but it was well worth it.


RMS Titanic, Inc. is an affiliate of the company and has conducted eight research and recovery expeditions to Titanic. The recovered artifacts have been conserved and are continuously monitored and maintained so they can be displayed in the Exhibitions. In total, RMS Titanic, Inc. has recovered 5,500 artifacts from the wreck site.


The whole exhibit was very interesting and it was presented in a fantastic way. There was a lot of great information with each artifact. It is a lot of reading and the information helped to understand more about this historical event. Some of the areas are very impressive in the way they are set up. It was well worth it!


We attended the Titanic Experience dinner theater and it was excellent! The food was excellent and the show was entertaining and interactive. It was done in such a way that you got a sense of what the night was like. It was such a great experience!


It is very worth it! A fascinating museum!! Very beautiful and well mounted. The interaction throughout the tour with actors representing real passengers on the ship make a big difference with other museums. Mainly Molly, she is amazing! Thanks to her you will never forget this visit!


Everything was ready for us when we arrived, including our tour guide, "Miss Dorothy Gibson", who was outstanding! It was all so interesting, and she most definitely kept our attention with all her info as well as some fun trivia. The whole group had a great time. Well worth the time and money! Thank you, Miss Dorothy!
