Fortunately there is no need to backup the whole machine, since the operating system can be re-installed in minutes; most apps can be installed through single command for <a href="https://brew.sh/" target="_blank">Mac</a> or <a href="https://chocolatey.org/" target="_blank">Win</a>; projects can be synced through <a href="https://github.com/">Github</a>. The only key things that require backed up are important files like personal photo collection and videos.<br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Backup strategy in a nutshell</h2><p style="text-align: left;">We suggest to kept all of the photos/videos in a well organized collection, ordered chronologically by year and by session / event. It is normally not an enormous amount of data (around few hundred GB) but the sentimental value that it holds could be immense.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Normally this collection can be stored on two physical devices. It can be on the computer’s hard drive, an external flash disc, or a NAS server.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The challenge here is, as photo/video size grows, the disks could run out of storage quickly, and moving files around to allocate space is a headache. Furthermore, things happen! Disks fail, people rob, rivers flood, comets fall. In case any of that occurs we need one copy in the cloud as the final rescue. We have tested multiple solutions and services over the past few years and finally we feel that the backup to cloud is more mature now (in terms of cost and convenience) and here we are to help you out.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What could be a good cloud backup and things we don't care about</h2><p style="text-align: left;">There are plenty of services that offer cloud storage for amateur and professional photographers or youtubers. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com" target="_blank">Dropbox</a>, <a href="https://drive.google.com" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>, <a href="https://www.box.com" target="_blank">Box</a>, <a href="https://www.onedrive.com" target="_blank">OneDrive</a> or <a href="https://www.backblaze.com" target="_blank">Backblaze</a> just to name a few.</p><p style="text-align: left;">There are a few key things that should be considered for the cloud backup solution.</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>security first - no one wants anyone else to look at their personal pictures/videos</li><li>auto-scaling and unlimited storage - the collection will grow over time</li><li>stay alive - we don't want to investing time in solutions that may not be around tomorrow.</li><li>price - cost effective</li></ul><p>The providers listed above usually offer tons of things that we don’t care much about. We don’t need a fancy app with tons of bells and whistles. We don’t need a constant live sync and seamless integration with our OS. It is a last resort backup - the file structure is probably never going to change. We just add more stuff over time.</p><p>Here we are not to compare the available options or convince you to use one over the other. We spent years looking for a solution that suits this picture/video backup needs and we would like to share it with you.</p><h2 id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3">Say hello to AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) </h2><p><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/">AWS (Amazon Web Services)</a> is a
platform that offers a number of things that your business or you, as an
individual, may need. From computational power, through to database
storage, content delivery networks to machine learning and IoT (Internet
of things) related products. A storage solution is one of the many
services that AWS has to offer. It is well established and proven by the
mile-long <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/all/">list of clients</a> like: Adobe, AirBnb, Netflix, NASA, CapitalOne, Canon, GoPro… The list goes on and on.</p>
<p>You may have heard the opinion that AWS is complicated to use. In
reality it is crazy complicated but to be in a band you don’t have to
play all the instruments — just master a single one. Storage is what we
need. In details, the thing that we need is a container of data stored within an S3 bucket and its seamless transition to the <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/" target="_blank">Glacier/Deep Archive</a> class.<br /></p><h2 id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3">What is S3 and how it works</h2><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;">Amazon S3 is a simple storage solution that offers a range of classes
designed for specific use cases. For frequently used, general storage
use <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/#General_Purpose">S3 Standard</a>. <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/#Infrequent_Access">Infrequent Access</a>
works best for files that you don’t have to access very often but still
keep them accessible whenever you need them. For archiving purposes, <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/#Archive">Glacier/Deep Archive</a>
is the best option. Each of these categories comes with pros and cons
and each of them suits different needs. The main differences between
them are <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/">price</a> and
waiting time to access objects (photos in our case). For those that are
curious I would direct you to Marc Trimuschats presentation from the AWS
Summit 2017. <a href="https://youtu.be/bfDpK45Faa0">Deep Dive on Object Storage</a> tells you everything that you need.</p><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;"> </p><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Amazon S3 storage classes" height="400" src="https://pawelgrzybek.com/photos/2018-02-27-1.jpg" width="717" /></p><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;"> </p><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;">Essentially, files stored in the hot storage (S3 Standard) are
accessible immediately but they will cost you a fortune ($0.023 / GB).
Cold storage (Glacier) on the other hand is extremely cheap ($0.004 per
GB) but a file restoration can take from 1 minute up to 12 hours. Deep code storage (Deep Archive) is even cheaper ($0.00099 per GB) but a file restoration can take within 12 hours. You
will be charged for each GB retrieved from the cold storage cluster too.
The pricing may vary a bit depending on the region of your S3 “bucket”.</p><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;">Privacy of files is something that we can easily control with S3. If you want to make a file public or private, no more than a single click is needed.</p><h3 id="how-to">How to</h3><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;">Start with <a href="https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup">creating a free AWS account</a>.
This process requires you to add a credit card to your account and authorize it by a phone call you will receive from Amazon’s bot. It is
worth mentioning that you are eligible to use a <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/free/">Free Tier</a> that gives you access to a snippet of AWS features totally for free. You can end this process here but if you want sophisticated security credential handling, we suggest to look at the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html">IAM (Identity and Access Management) best practices</a>. i.e., “root” account is just for billing purposes and to
manage users. An IAM user shall be created with
sufficient permissions to handle the backup tasks.</p><p id="say-hello-to-aws-simple-storage-service-s3" style="text-align: left;">Once the account is ready to use, it is time to connect to the S3 storage and create the first storage “bucket” for the S3 storage. Here we use CrossFTP as the tool to show how to do the backups.<br /></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Create a new site in <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/download.htm" target="_blank">CrossFTP</a>, and choose <span style="font-weight: bold;">Protocol</span> as S3/HTTPS<br />

In this document, we present how CrossFTP can help to save data transfer time and cost by compression.<br />
<br />
It's easy to turn on data compression supported in CrossFTP: go Sites -> Site Manager -> Actions -> Data Compression. Once this is toggled, CrossFTP automatically compresses your file before the transfer happens, and upload to the remote site. This helps to save time and cost for file transfers:<br />
<ul>
<li>For cloud storage (e.g., S3, Microsoft Azure) and WebDav protocols: gzip is used as content encoding to compress the files</li>
<li>For FTP, mode Z is enabled during the data transfer to reduce the transportation size.</li>
</ul>

CrossFTP puts security as top priority in its design. For security of FTP/Cloud storage client software, it includes 3 parts: 1, protect the FTP/Cloud storage sites' password in local configuration; 2, protect the password and files during the data transfer; 3, protect the files on the remote storage service provider.<br />
<br />
In this document, we focus on point 1: how CrossFTP protects the FTP/Cloud storage sites' password in local configuration.<br />
<ul>
<li>All sites' password are encrypted by CrossFTP so that any other software cannot steal any of your sites' secrets.</li>
<li>User has the option to use a customized password to encrypt your sites' password by: Sites -> Password Protection -> Set Master Password.</li>
<ul>
<li>Attention: user need to remember and input this password when CrossFTP starts. There is no way to recover this password.</li>
<li>After setting master password, user can remove it by: Sites -> Password Protection -> Clear Master Password.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
In conclusion, CrossFTP protects all of your FTP/Cloud storage sites' password in local configuration. User don't need to worry about local configuration's security in CrossFTP. <br />

<h4>
Trouble shooting </h4>
For Mac OS, if you want to Edit/Open the Local/Remote Files but failed, it may be caused by that you are using Mac AppStore version CrossFTP, which has sandbox policy that forbids CrossFTP to open the file.<br />
<br />
To solve this issue, download and install non-AppStore version CrossFTP from our <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/download.htm">download page</a>, and the problem should be solved.<br />
On non-AppStore version CrossFTP, if you find that the original FTP sites are empty, you can import the AppStore version's FTP sites by: Sites -> Import -> CrossFTP Pro (Mac App Store) to import your original sites. <br />

<br />
<h4>
How to Copy/Move Data Across Different Sites</h4>
Lots of data transfer protocols are available from different cloud storage sites. For example, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/">CrossFTP</a> supports <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/ftp-client.htm">FTP</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/sftp-client.htm">SFTP</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/fxp-client.htm">FXP</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/webdav-client.htm">WebDav</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/amazon-s3-client.htm">Amazon S3</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/amazon-glacier-client.htm">Amazon Glacier</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/google-storage-client.htm">Google Cloud Storage</a>, <a href="https://www.crossftp.com/microsoft-azure-client.htm">MS AZure</a>, and <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/openstack-swift-client.htm">OpenStack Swift</a> protocols for Windows, Mac, and Linux. How to copy/move data between different sites easily is an issue.<br />
<br />
To address this issue, CrossFTP provides FXP and/or Site-Local-Site solutions:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>FXP</b>: a method of data transfer among sites of same transfer protocols. Currently supported transfer protocols are: <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/ftp-client.htm">FTP</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/sftp-client.htm">SFTP</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/webdav-client.htm">WebDav</a>, <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/amazon-s3-client.htm">Amazon S3</a>, <a href="https://www.crossftp.com/microsoft-azure-client.htm">MS AZure</a>, and <a href="http://www.crossftp.com/openstack-swift-client.htm">OpenStack Swift</a>. This feature is available in CrossFTP Pro.</li>
<li><b>Site-Local-Site</b>: a method of data transfer among sites of any (same/different) transfer protocols. The data file is downloaded from the source site to the local machine first, and then upload from local machine to the target site. This feature helps you to do data migration between different sites, and is available in CrossFTP Enterprise.</li>
</ul>
Here we introduce how to make FXP and Site-Local-Site transfer in CrossFTP below:<br />
<h4>
FXP</h4>
1. Open the remote site's tab on left and right side of CrossFTP Panel, and copy them among the tabs. See Fig.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmx9lUodOHSXazGye9bSsq933c4CPAKgcOYlhZ0IVpu9qIvqyx-8hD1qRZyW5TqwAYQayJPuYB-lURFry4OmnDr1D8S1cELrPCQHhNqWzOP2t8x-GRohbCxXpxIXaamqsTRkWu6Q/s1600/Screen+Shot+2020-05-25+at+2.38.36+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="998" data-original-width="1600" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmx9lUodOHSXazGye9bSsq933c4CPAKgcOYlhZ0IVpu9qIvqyx-8hD1qRZyW5TqwAYQayJPuYB-lURFry4OmnDr1D8S1cELrPCQHhNqWzOP2t8x-GRohbCxXpxIXaamqsTRkWu6Q/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-05-25+at+2.38.36+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div>
2. Choose FXP type data transfer.<br />
3. Data transfer items will be added into the queue, as shown in the Fig.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h4>
Site-Local-Site</h4>
1. Open the remote site's tab on left and right side of CrossFTP Panel, and copy them among the tabs. See Fig.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmx9lUodOHSXazGye9bSsq933c4CPAKgcOYlhZ0IVpu9qIvqyx-8hD1qRZyW5TqwAYQayJPuYB-lURFry4OmnDr1D8S1cELrPCQHhNqWzOP2t8x-GRohbCxXpxIXaamqsTRkWu6Q/s1600/Screen+Shot+2020-05-25+at+2.38.36+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="998" data-original-width="1600" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmx9lUodOHSXazGye9bSsq933c4CPAKgcOYlhZ0IVpu9qIvqyx-8hD1qRZyW5TqwAYQayJPuYB-lURFry4OmnDr1D8S1cELrPCQHhNqWzOP2t8x-GRohbCxXpxIXaamqsTRkWu6Q/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-05-25+at+2.38.36+PM.png" width="320" /> </a></div>
2. Choose Site-Local-Site type data transfer.<br />
3. Data transfer items will be added into the queue, as shown in the Fig.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02MsIukUMwvG46DfDx8atUHxITSZ9VUNw5vym3jLajESr91DjpdbJpTFGgga2GrSomHYc_XW1ZKujgmWiY3Wgk106WbwxSXdDqrxyNGhjd34kNawRVQcpDBq06wo6PpDDlZtMQQ/s1600/Screen+Shot+2020-05-25+at+2.43.17+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="1158" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02MsIukUMwvG46DfDx8atUHxITSZ9VUNw5vym3jLajESr91DjpdbJpTFGgga2GrSomHYc_XW1ZKujgmWiY3Wgk106WbwxSXdDqrxyNGhjd34kNawRVQcpDBq06wo6PpDDlZtMQQ/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-05-25+at+2.43.17+PM.png" width="320" /> </a></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Trouble Shooting</h4>
<ul>
<li><h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Site-Local-Site transfer met that temp file creation failure, or there is no enough disk space</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">This is caused by that there is no enough space left on your chosen temp file folder, so that the local cached file cannot be created and leading to the site-local-site transfer failure. To address this, choose a proper temp folder at Tools -> Global Options -> General -> Temp File Folder, and make sure there is enough space left for that folder.</span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Conclusion</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
CrossFTP provides FXP and/or Site-Local-Site type data transfer support to help you to handle data copy/move issue across different remote server sites with same or different FTP/cloud protocols</div>

To solve this issue:<br />
<br />
On windows 10:<br />
<ol>
<li>Find <code>java.exe</code> you installed.</li>
<li>Right click -> <code>Properties</code></li>
<li>Go to <code>Compatibility</code> tab</li>
<li><b>Check</b> <code>Override high DPI scaling behavior.</code></li>
<li>Choose <code>System</code> for <code>Scaling performed by:</code></li>
</ol>
On Linux:<br />
You can add parameters to the <code>java</code> binary which launches the CrossFTP, you can use the option <code>-D</code> to pass a value for the <code>sun.java2d.uiScale</code>
proprty to specify a scaling factor for Java2D. This will scale your
application. The scaling factor value is a double. Make sure that you
pass this option to the <code>java</code> binary itself, not the launched Java application.<br />
Example: Launch crossftp.jar with a UI scaling factor of 2.5<br />
<br />
<pre><code>java -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.5 -jar ...</code></pre>
<pre><code>
</code></pre>
