90 for 128GB). This USB flash drive comes with built-in Wi-Fi, which allows you to wirelessly upload files from your mobile devices (Android and iOS) using a mobile app. It can also stream music and videos to up to three connected devices simultaneously. Solid-state drives (SSD) now offer sufficient capacity to be used as an external storage drive for backups.
While they remain more expensive than portable hard drives, SSDs are much faster and more resistant to shock and vibration. The Samsung Portable SSD T5 is as handy as a name card holder and weighs just 51g. A USB Type-C to C cable lets it connect to newer smartphones that use this interface. The AirPort Time Capsule is a Wi-Fi router with a built-in hard drive.
Mac owners can use the Time Machine feature on their computers to easily back up their files to the AirPort's hard drive over the home network. Despite being launched in 2013, the AirPort remains viable as it supports the latest 802.11ac wireless standard. The WD MyCloud Home makes the network-attached storage (NAS) experience more user-friendly for novices.
Its mobile app automatically uploads photos and videos from the smartphone to MyCloud Home. It can create a local backup of files in cloud storage accounts, such as Google Drive and Dropbox, for extra insurance. But advanced users may find it lacking in features compared with a standard NAS. For instance, a desktop app must be installed to view its contents - Windows Explorer or Mac OS Finder cannot see the files otherwise.
The Duo version comes with two hard drives that are identical copies of each other to protect against hardware failure. Synology is one of the top names in the NAS business, thanks to its excellent software, which has a Windows-like user interface. It comes without any hard drives so users can outfit it with their preferred picks. Tech-savvy users will enjoy its breadth of features, from synchronising data between the NAS and cloud storage services to media server functionality.
I've just found out that keeping several tabs open at the same time eats up a lof of bandswidth. Canada, there are areas where one has to use a cell phone to get internet and that usage is limited by high cost. Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful. These are really good suggestions. I travel though the U.S. Of course I have to watch my usage carefully, because there is a high cost if you go over. This article has shown me new ways to conserve on usage - thanks!
However, it is technically possible to image the file system without jailbreaking. Instead, a known CVE vulnerability can be exploited to allow TAR imaging code to execute on the device without installing a whole bunch of unnecessary stuff (e.g. the Cydia store). Can you extract anything from an iPhone without the passcode (but being able to boot it), A very limited set of information is still extractable, including the call log, some system logs and file system metadata (the complete file and folder structure including file sizes).
The rest of the data is impossible to extract because of full disk encryption. This is exactly what Apple claimed in their Privacy Policy when iOS 8 was released. “So it’s not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8,” (Tim Cook via CNet).
Apparently, such extraction was possible in iOS 7 and earlier; these, however, are beyond the scope of this article. So how is the file system image “better” than a local iTunes-style backup, In fact, a file system image contains a different, much more extensive set of data compared to a backup. In fact there is much more - quite a lot of very useful artefacts can be discovered.
