Of the two main hardware types, one for your office; another more portable

a durable build has replaceable drive in a powered enclosure; this can run

a full system clone and provide boot-capable backups.


Many people who cherish their contents seek to have more than one backup

and various hardware can be good; the smaller backup option seems OK and

is known generically as USB backup; port-powered, 2-TB to 4+TB. Need not be

super-fast SSD; since the unit would be used with the Apple Time Machine app.


The OWC site has several options, from bare enclosures (with and without power)

& various drive options, either offered as workable solutions, or DIY assemblages.


Other promising examples, items include Envoy and Thunderbay products.


The metal-cased ones that can sit on a desk, offer better long-term options.
