Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8: High-Speed 10G Network Storage & Sync
In today's fast-paced media and post-production environments, managing and protecting vast amounts of data is no longer a luxury—it's a critical necessity. The Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 is engineered from the ground up to solve this challenge, offering a robust, high-performance solution for backing up and syncing your most valuable media files. Say goodbye to slow transfer speeds and complex backup procedures; this is the streamlined, professional-grade storage appliance your studio has been waiting for.
At its core, the Cloud Backup 8 is a powerful 8-bay network dock that leverages blazing-fast 10G Ethernet. With four independent 10G Ethernet ports, it can handle simultaneous data streams from multiple users without creating a bottleneck in your workflow. This allows editors, colorists, and VFX artists to access and back up large project files—including high-resolution Blackmagic RAW, 4K, and 8K footage—at incredible speeds. The unit utilizes standard, low-cost 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, giving you the freedom to build a massive storage pool with terabytes of capacity that can be easily expanded and managed. The hot-swappable bays mean you can add or replace drives without ever powering down the unit, ensuring maximum uptime.
Beyond local network speed, the Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 unlocks a world of global collaboration. By connecting to your Blackmagic Cloud account, it can automatically sync your media with Dropbox or Google Drive. This creates an off-site backup and allows team members from anywhere in the world to access the latest project files. A dedicated HDMI monitoring output provides a real-time, at-a-glance view of storage status, disk health, network activity, and sync progress on any standard display. Housed in an elegant, durable rack-mount chassis, the Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 integrates seamlessly into your existing studio setup, providing the security, speed, and reliability that modern creative workflows demand.
