Hi, is anyone using some sort of data backup for the BI clips? Just want a backup solution in case the home BI computer gets compromised. What are you using, what are you backing up (alerts, etc.), how long of a retention, and how much are you paying? Thanks.
 
I record to the SD cards in the camera.

I do not use a BI backup. To be useful the backup would need to be in near realtime, disk block by block. I do not backup the alerts or the current database.
I use clone cameras in BI, I have my normal cameras write to the local disk and do all the motion processing. I have the clone cameras write to a NAS on the network, Clone cameras are a feature of BI, they use no addition inbound network traffic. They use very little CPU as there is almost no processing.
I do backup the current configuration use Blue Iris tools and the normal nightly windows 7 backup.

Cloud services are useless for realtime backup, Your internet connection will fail first.
