NEED a BACK UP plan | New England Highway NSW

[@scotstravellingaus2024]

OH no losing your videos sucks big time!!! I have had this happen to one of my laptops years ago so now I make sure I back up using Mac Time Machine on an external hard drive. With my photos/videos I put them onto a hard drive but always have a copy hard drive, so it one carks it then still have the other copy. Twice the expense to buy the hard drive but well worth it! I have tried saving to Dropbox but it just takes too long to upload and then there is not enough space. Hope you find a solution! Great videos BTW!!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! Yes we’ve done the double back up now 👍🏽 2 seperate hard drives so if one fails we have a back up

[@antony3678]

Cloud storage never fails! Stopped trusting the mechanical storage and potential for failure of a hard drive years ago.

[@davidriggs5116]

Brilliant, thank you. Look forward to the next video.

[@oscarsmitty]

great epp guys keep up great work an thank you

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching!

[@BobJamison5660]

Hey guys, Thanks for the video! I use a cloud backup solution, plus use SSD drives so that I have a secondary backup. Good luck!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey Joe! thanks for the tip 👍

[@markhopkins9925]

Thanks guys for sharing and showing us around ! Keep up all the great work . 👍👍🍻🍻

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching Mark! Appreciate the support every week 🍻👍🏽

[@CatherineRoss-Taylor]

So sorry that you have lost your hard drive - a good lesson for us all. Love Juice - he is obviously an absolute character. It is amazing how quickly pets become another family member. Thanks for another great episode - we love your content. We will be traveling Australia with our Shih Tzu - Hewson - starting next year.🐶😁🌺

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

It is a shame but a lesson for sure! Juice is an absolute character ! Thats exciting to hear, they make awesome travel companions 👍🏽

[@ramjaks666]

Pretty crappy about the hard drive ! Thanks for the weekly update guy's 🤙

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes 😞 Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼

[@VinceBarnes-fq2wl]

There are more tank traps on Waterfall Way Ebor. Unfortunately, entry can be hard to find. There are no signs showing access. Quite an interesting spot.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching and letting us know 👍

[@lorrainewood2405]

Some great free camps and donation camps. Caves look cool too. 😊xx

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much Colleen!

[@nzmarkb8713]

Another fantastic episode guys Love your easy going attitude towards the challenges Nobody’s dying so no need to panic A 👍

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thats exactly right, it was stressful at first but we come to terms with it pretty quickly. Thanks for watching mate! 🍻

[@ozziekate07]

oh that totally sucks losing your footage 😢 thanks for taking us with you on your walk to the Thunderbolts cave , was awesome, oh and how sweet is Juice sitting on the chair right at the end of the video , he was trying to talk to Bryce ❤

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching and commenting once again 😊😊 Yes he is very vocal sometimes haha

[@diannetroeth-telfer1148]

Love watching you guys. Love little juice. Your videos are very informative

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thank you so much for following along 👍😊

[@ontheroadwithyouandmeandth334]

Some great camps there guys still loving your videos, we met you guys at Southend a couple of years ago, just after I hit the gate post with the caravan on the way into camp. The free camp at deepwater when we stayed there had platypus in the creek, again great video 👍

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes we remember meeting you 👍🏽😊 Thanks for still following along

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

Added these places to the list thank you.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching! Good idea some great stops 🍻

[@graemesmith4735]

Absolutely pissed. I used to thoroughly enjoy your happy-go-lucky weekly videos, then darn YT canceled my subscription!! It took me a few weeks to realise that you guys hadn't flown the coup (moved back to reality) but were still making your way from one wonderful town to the next. Now I have some catching up to do - that's my Sunday filled! Keep up the great work guys.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much for watching 😊👍🏽 we appreciate you following along

[@jasonbarnes5605]

Sorry to hear that you have lost all that footage but at least you can watch all of your episodes on KZbin!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes that’s totally right hey! 👍🏽

[@TheCoddiwompleCouple]

Another great video guys. Appreciate your work

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much!

[@gavandavies332]

Drop box seems a good one..😉

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Just expensive for the plans, we have about 5TB of files 😳

[@cynthiakavanagh6972]

Hi guys 😊 How nice is the New England! Sorry for having a giggle when you talked about Guyra, which is pronounced “Guy-rah” (guy as in boy), and it’s the coldest place in NSW other than the Snowy Mountain areas. Not good news about the hard drive, though. Good luck with it all and we’re looking forward to your drive down the New England Hwy. Happy travels 😊

[@cynthiakavanagh6972]

Oh, and there’s nothing bad about a chip butty; we’ve always made with hot chips and packets of chips (crisps). For a special treat, buy a bbq chook and have a bit of chook and chips on your butty; protein as well, 🍗🍗🍟🍟

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching! Yes we get lots of pronunciations wrong when travelling haha so many towns we’ve never heard of 😃

[@AyodanDownUnder]

One thing I do to back up important stuff is to burn a couple of DVD back ups, portable DVD burners are pretty cheap to get. Thanks for sharing your journey again, and it is finally cooled of a bit in Perth now :)

[@peterhoz]

DVDs get scratched. They're not much more reliable than a HDD

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thats not a bad thought! Might be something to look into! 👍🏽 cheers for watching 🍻

[@AyodanDownUnder]

@@peterhoz I have had no problems with them especially if they are stored correctly, I have some that are over 15 yrears old and still play great.

[@Rhi1992.]

How far are you guys coming into NSW? You need to visit Catho Pub at Catherine Hill Bay, such a beautiful old historic pub

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey! thanks for the tip we will keep that in mind.

[@lindaarmiger217]

So sad for you with the hard drive problem. Don't have any solutions personally - me and technology have a hate relationship so I leave things like that to my son. You had a busy week exploring. Deepwater looks good, will add to my list.😊

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Think we are in the same boat! Thanks for watching 🍻

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Really pretty area. Haven’t been there since I was little. You’re getting closer to your new van👏🏻😉

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes next week 🥰👍🏽

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Wow that’s so exciting 🎉

[@warrenavenell9848]

Yeah losing data sucks. I would suggest a NAS box with 3 or more drives which you can back up your data locally with failover redundancy. Then get another one at a friend / family place to backup to. Then also setup an archive plan for long term storage.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

That sounds like something we will look into for sure, seems like the best option only downside is the set up costs

[@annettemay5743]

I carn't believe Chelsea Piked out on walking the crossing. After all someone has to deive it. hahaha Good old captian Thunder bolt We must check out his hide outs. Thanks so much.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

I know right! Should have made her do it! Thanks for watching

[@Roberto.Giuseppe]

I back up all of our images and data on Google drive. You can setup your laptop to auto backup at set intervals. Google drive charge small monthly fee. it cheap security. We leave our diesel heater on all night on low on cold nights. Love your content, keep up the good work. Give JUICE a pet for me.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for the tips! 👍😊

[@mickp10]

Sorry to hear about your hard drive. Always have 3 backups, and check them. My opinion in your situation, one backup in your car, another in your caravan, and another in the cloud (even a NAS connected to a family members router to access remotely). Also use a backup program that will automate it.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes very good advice 👍🏽 thanks mate for watching and commenting

[@mattblakiston8933]

What's the new van going to be?

[@plasmaDave]

I used to work in a data recovery center many years ago. Recovery is almost always possible in some part but it is always expensive.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

That is good to know that we can look into it one day, and that they have good results too 👍🏽

[@plasmaDave]

​@@CaravanAdventureAusgoogle drive is a perfectly good and affordable cloud storage solution.

[@RobnDi]

Great video. I feel for you losing all that footage. I have a documentary I made of the South Australian Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club on a hard drive that I just cannot access. I have a copy on a DVD but it is copy protected. The hard drive also has hundreds of photos of our kids when hey we’re small. Backup, backup, backup is all I can say.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes it’s so sad when you can’t access the files anymore 😞😞

[@UbuteyAustralia]

Ive been in that cave and theres a hole in the roof🤔😮

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

yeah there is 😊

[@davidriggs5116]

Hi Bryce, Chelsea Thanks for sharing Aussie with us. Aren't you guys heading in the wrong direction for this time of year? Hey Bryce, we have a Ford wiltrak and noticed your towing mirrors. Do they fall off at all or move when trucks pass? We are looking at towing mirrors and not sure whether to buy the you beaut ones or the kind you have. Are you happy with them?

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey! Yes we were heading the wrong way because we had some business down in Victoria. If you watch the next video (tomorrow) we explain it a bit more 👍🏽😃 The mirrors are Milenco and have never come off in 4 years of travels.

[@djjames6576]

@ 10:30 An honourable mention for Bryce? 😅

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

😂😂 I wonder how many people will notice this

[@DarrelHetherington]

Hi Guys Love your show. How did you find the Armidale golf club camp on wiki camps . Thanks Darrel

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! We found it on wiki camps and just have campground and caravan parks showing and then keep looking at options in the area! The golf club was in uralla 👍🏽

[@Accolades70]

great vid.. one day....

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching! One day for sure mate

[@phillroo7871]

Hey guys, get yourself a NAS, could also get 2 one can be kept at the folks home or sisters, and the other with yaself, not cheap maybe but how does it go, keep 3 copies 1 for use, 1 backup and 1 away

[@phillroo7871]

Oh, forgot to mention, would be cheaper in the long run, not having to purchase cloud space, and it's kept private

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for the tip!

[@colinthompson6463]

As always a great video. Yes, live and learn re HD. Personally I have two very good quality external Hard Drives that I back EVERYTHING onto. Not just all my videos and pictures from when I was a child until present day (I am now 68 lol), but I also back up all my important documents/scans/emails etc. My HD's also have a password just as an added security feature. The reason I have two HD is simply as another backup albeit overkill. As the old saying goes. if your house burns down you can always rebuild but if your photos/videos are lost then you just cannot replace them. Personally I don't like "cloud" etc as I just am not sure about it and the cyber attacks happening these days. So 2 x good quality HD do it for me. On another matter how have you found the Milenco Towing Mirrors? Have you has any trouble with them blowing back at all? Stay safe and happy travels.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Great advice on the hard drives, we need to be more pro active I think! The milenco mirrors are great, been using them for 5 years now and no issues at all! Never had them blow back on the triton or ranger! Thanks for watching 🍻👍🏽

Hahaha was wondering how many people would notice 😂😂

[@theknightrider888]

Saw that too 🤣

[@aussienomaddestinations]

Helpful hint back everything up to two harddrives, then copy transfer the episode you are woking back onto laptop and rebackup when finished, two both harddrives, footage is a pain to keep safe,

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for the tips! We've learnt our lesson now for sure!

[@joking7081]

I don't trust the cloud. I have my files backed up twice on 2 separate Seagate portable 5TB hard drives. Suggest it's a cheap option as you can pick the drives up for about $200 each from JB Hi-Fi. Hope this helps. Love your videos.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thats what we are doing at the moment, creating a couple of big 2nd backups with everything for safe keeping! 👍🏽 thanks for watching 🍻

[@aussiefarmer6012]

Sorry about the hard drive, Darren at DJ'S is excellent and very busy because of that. Bit sad you didn't show the streets of the towns you have gone through. This is my local area. Those chips looked good, can i ask where you got them in Armidale please? Always look forward to your vids. Cheers from a subscriber.

[@kellystravelauzplus2]

I would back everything up something like dropbox or OneDrive (Microsoft).

[@kellystravelauzplus2]

Ps love your videos

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes thank you for the tip! 👍

[@sharonjessen814]

Yes, I back up to one drive as well as iCloud.

Hi there ,can you tell me what you are getting mileage per 100 km in the ranger. Thanks . Phil.

Hey mate! With the caravan = 18 👍

[@ab7406]

12v pet beds are available, pets supply Australia

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

That could be something to look into! Jucie Would be pretty flashy with a heated bed!

[@Accolades70]

SSD Drives are the best for backups - basically just a BIG UUSB they do wear out over time but less prone to data loss as no mechanical parts. Something like SAMSUNG SSD T7 1TB Portable External SSD. depending on storage capacity. best having a few 1TB drives to share the data. try Crucial X9 Pro come in 1,2 and 4TB capacities. Ya get what ya pay for....:-)

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for the tips! 👍🏽😀

[@UbuteyAustralia]

My great great grandfather was held up by captain thunderbolt returning to Glen innes from the tenterfield races as he was a musician with a band and he said to thunderbolt we are just poor musicians and thunderbolt said if i get someone richer later on i will return your money so he took thier addresses and a few weeks later he returned there money😊👍❤️

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh wow that's so interesting! very cool story 👍😊

[@Accolades70]

What HDD(s) are you using for backup?? what size??

[@peterbougoure5356]

This has happened to quite a few of your fellow travellers as well. Can be devastating for the lost footage, but as others have mentioned - multiple backup sources will protect the data.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes we have bought a big drive to back everything up to now 🫶🏼

[@needitmate]

Hi Guys, Bruce and Jane here. Love watching your content every Sunday and sorry to here about the hard drive. Would like to donate $5 to a fund to retrieve your data that we all enjoy. Hopefully other subscribers will get on board - where can we send it - what do you think??

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thank you so much for suggesting that. I think we will just cop the loss this time but we do appreciate it.
