Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 is an 8 bay, bring your own drive storage system built for archiving finished projects to low cost hard drives once fast primary storage is no longer needed. Each of the 8 hot swappable bays works independently, with a light ring around every slot showing drive activity and a physical security bar that can lock the drives in place.
Four 10G Ethernet ports and a built in switch let several editors or a DIT cart pull from the same archive at once, over SMB and NFS, while a laptop friendly Ethernet over USB-C port covers simpler file management jobs. An HDMI output shows a live storage map, transfer graphs, sync status and connected users.
Blackmagic Cloud sync keeps archived projects in step with other Cloud Store or Cloud Backup units, with proxies transferring ahead of full camera files so a job can be reopened quickly from anywhere. The unit defaults to DHCP and is configured through a free Mac and Windows setup utility, with no subscriptions or usage based fees.
