Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 features a rack mount design, making it an ideal choice for installation in a studio alongside other network equipment or even for camera backups in a DIT cart on set. This ensures customers always have a second backup to keep their camera files safe. Customers get 8 independent hard disk slots, with all disks available simultaneously over the network. Plus, there's a built-in 4 port 10G Ethernet switch for exceptionally high performance. There's also an HDMI output to watch a live graphic view of storage operations on a TV or monitor.

Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 is exceptionally fast because it has 4 separate, incredibly high speed 10G Ethernet connections. The internal processing has been engineered to fully utilize the theoretical maximum speed of the 10G Ethernet port, ensuring optimal performance from modern high-capacity hard drives. Backing up large digital film files is incredibly fast, even when working with numerous cameras and intricate sets.

Creative teams can now share a single local cache of media synced to Blackmagic Cloud, enabling a truly global workflow. Blackmagic Cloud handles all sync, duplicating media to multiple sites for robust data safety and zero latency access since everyone works from local copies. Blackmagic Cloud will run continuous backups, eliminating manual archiving. Then once a job completes, it remains available on the Blackmagic Cloud Backup 8 disks, freeing up space on their primary fast flash storage. Blackmagic Cloud also handles the DaVinci Resolve proxy workflow, transferring proxies first, then the camera original files. This means customers can always re-open a job in minutes.
