Look into GoodSync. I use it to make scheduled back ups of 2 external HD's - each into its own 4 TB portable which I swap off periodically. You can set your schedule just about anyway you want it. The backup is NOT encrypted. I believe a Cloud is available.
I use GoodSync as well as ARQ to backup files. GoodSync does support Cloud backups, but requires a bit more technical expertise and planning to set up than ARQ.

Thanks - wasn’t aware of that. In that case, what about backing up to ICloud/ICloud Drive?
If you're asking if Time Machine can use iCloud as a target, that won't work...

Why not just use Time Machine? Included with 10.5 and later versions of MacOS
He was looking for a solution to backup automatically to the Cloud. TM is great, but relies on local attached storage... actually kinda surprised that Apple has never latched on to expanding TM to use their iCloud storage, as they could then sell people more storage.
Take a look at ARQ Backup -
https://www.arqbackup.com/ I use it to backup to Amazon Cloud Drive. Runs in background with very low overhead.
You don't mention an OS, but if MAC highly recommend Carbon Copy Cloner
Really like to composition and the color contrast as you pointed out. Was the hand in the foreground moving? Appears to be motion blurred on my screen...
A man and his wife are playing the 5th hole at their club when he slices his drive so far to the right it rolls into an equipment barn. He finds the ball and plans to take a drop when she says, "Let me go down to the other end of the barn and hold the door open. Then you can hit your ball through the door and back to the fairway."
He thinks this is a good idea, so she holds the door. He takes a big swing, but rather than flying through the door, the ball hits her in the head and kills her instantly.
Two years later, the same man and his new bride are playing the same hole when he again slices the ball into the shed. He finds it and plans to take an unplayable lie when she says, "Let me go down to the other end of the barn and hold the door open. Then you can hit your ball through the door and back to the fairway."
He looks at her, shakes his head, and explains, "No way. The last time I tried that, I took a triple bogey on this hole!"
Hi Jerry,
I would suggest looking at Other World Computing, aka
https://www.macsales.com. They offer excellent kits and instructional videos that walk you through the whole process start to finish. I upgraded my wife's same generation iMac in just this way (new SSD drive) giving it many year's more life. If you have a time machine backup, restoring will be a piece of cake as well.
Regards,
Michael
If you have a Mac, the Photos app is a very simple method to get them out.

I got mine in November 2017 and I installed it with no problems. My old Comcast modem had a battery for backup, I removed it and installed it in the new modem - again, no problem. I ran both speed test programs - speakeasy.net and speedtest.net - and I am currently running at 240 mbps download and 12 mbps (I just ran speakeasy and it clocked 299.7 and 11.8) even at peak times. Go for it.
Might want to pull that battery out. I had done the same thing, and in a recent service call the technician removed it stating that they don't ship with a battery anymore on purpose as they found it was keeping needed updates that require a power cycle from being applied. The batteries were originally intended to keep your phone service going in a power outage. Keep it nearby should that situation occur...

I have used Macs for years and my latest IMac I bought with it a device called Airport that serves two purposes: it automatically backs up your computer and hard drives(s) periodically (i believe hourly) to I cloud and it serves as a wifi device for up to 300' so you can access internet or print remotely, etc. The wifi is password protected to keep neighbors/hackers out.
Hi Pappleg - Airport a great device, but do be aware the backups made are local to that device and *not* in the cloud. Important to know and understand that if you are looking to protect your data with an offsite copy...
Highly recommend ARQ and Amazon Drive. If you have/get Amazon Prime, you get a pretty good chunk of storage free (5 GB), and 1TB is just $59.99 / year. Other pricing is available as well.
For those looking to archive photos, with Prime unlimited storage of photos in Amazon Drive is free! Use a program like Goodsync to copy your photos to folder(s), and you have very reasonable cloud storage solution to keep a copy of your precious assets off-site.
