nightcraw1er.488: True. Thankfully about 5 years back I revamped my whole backup process, so have three ongonig backups for normal day to day, then timepoint backups, so I can rollback quite some time now if needs be.
trusteft: That's clever, but very space consuming.
I have only one back (version) for each game and I am already passed the 5TB drive and its backup. So if I want more I am going to have to get multiple hardrives just for one backup. I don't have money for that any more.
It's annoying paid customers have to try to "trick" the system to not get screwed by the process GOG is following.
I am pretty certain they do this on purpose just to push the stupid client.
Yes, it is a pricey initial setup. It’s brought raid boxes, terramaster d5 ones (not the 3+2), at a good price. Then get smaller drives which are cheaper and you can add further ones later. So 5x4tb for instance. The raid isn’t a backup, it’s there to help with drive failure, but also provides a nice 1 drive view of multiple ones. You could add another 4b later, maybe get a batch of drives cheap. There are options. The timepoint ones are just drives I had at the time, sometimes split over two.
