The Cloud Backup 8 from Blackmagic Design is made for post-production workflows where users need to archive projects to low-cost storage, which is accomplished using 8 x SATA 3.5" drive bays. The Cloud Backup 8 also syncs to the Blackmagic Cloud for backing up collaborative projects in DaVinci Resolve. When the drives are full, they may be removed and replaced with new ones for increased storage. The Cloud Backup 8 is equipped with four 10Gb Ethernet ports, a 5 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port that also supports Ethernet, and an HDMI output for real time monitoring. Compatible with Windows and Mac, this unit features a rackmount form factor and has no associated subscription costs.

Back Up and Share Your Media to Hard Disks

The Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 lets you use inexpensive computer hard drives to back up your media files. It even syncs to Blackmagic Cloud for backing up collaborative projects in DaVinci Resolve. Each hard disk slot is totally independent, so you can mount up to 8 backup disks simultaneously. Then, when full, you can unplug the disks and you can replace them with new, blank ones to increase your archive storage capacity. You also get 4 x 10Gb Ethernet ports to keep up with fast, high-capacity hard disks. Hard disks offer the lowest cost per TB of storage and are fast, making them ideal for archiving older projects. Plus, there's an HDMI monitor output that shows storage status.

Designed for Film and Television

Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 is an ideal solution for post-production workflows where you have completed projects that require fast archiving to low cost storage. It's great for creating replay archives, as media files can become large when recording multiple ISO channels. You can even use it for education to manage numerous student media projects. Plus there's a security bar included so you can lock the disks and prevent their removal. Modern hard disks are so fast they can also be used as primary storage, not just for archiving purposes! Additionally, you can archive projects from Blackmagic Cloud, ensuring a live backup that continuously syncs to your project while you edit!
