Blackmagic Design just launched its new Cloud Backup 8 system, giving people a way to save media files quickly using cheap computer hard drives. This rack-mounted backup tool connects with Blackmagic Cloud to store DaVinci Resolve projects that everyone works on together. The device comes with eight separate hard disk slots and four super-fast 10G Ethernet ports that work great with big hard disks. You can see everything happening on the screen, thanks to the HDMI output showing storage details. Anyone wanting to save completed projects without spending much can buy it today for $1,495 from dealers everywhere.
The rack design makes Cloud Backup 8 perfect next to other network gear in studios or as part of camera backup systems on film sets. Users access all eight disk slots at once through their network. The built-in four-port 10G Ethernet switch delivers amazing speed when moving files. The HDMI port lets you watch real-time graphs of storage activity on any TV or monitor, making file management easy. The system runs extremely fast because each 10G Ethernet connection works at full capacity, helping transfer huge digital film files quickly, even when dealing with many cameras.
Teams across the world can share media through Blackmagic Cloud, where everyone keeps local copies for instant access. The system backs up files automatically all day long, ending manual archive work forever. When jobs finish, they stay available on Cloud Backup 8 disks, freeing space on expensive flash storage. Blackmagic Cloud handles moving smaller proxy files first, then bigger original camera files later, letting users open past projects almost instantly whenever needed. The HDMI screen shows helpful visuals, including disk space maps, real-time read/write activity, data transfer graphs, total capacity indicators, and sync status for every job.
Cloud Backup 8 gives users complete control over their private storage without any extra fees or subscriptions. Nobody tracks your data or usage patterns. A free software tool manages all storage settings on Mac and Windows computers instead of requiring monthly website payments. Users can run completely private networks disconnected from the internet if needed - something many security standards demand. Setting everything up happens quickly without needing IT help, though more technical users can still adjust network settings through the utility program that works with all Blackmagic storage products.
Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design, explained that customers wanted affordable storage they could control themselves. He described Cloud Backup 8 as both affordable and high-performing, perfect for archiving finished projects or serving as primary storage. The product includes spots for eight 3.5" hard drives in a compact one-rack-unit case, independent disk bays with status lights, four 10G Ethernet ports, Blackmagic Cloud syncing capability, HDMI output showing storage status, and an optional security bar to lock disks in place. Anyone interested can purchase Cloud Backup 8 right away for $1,495 plus any local taxes from Blackmagic Design dealers worldwide.
