Blackmagic Design Cloud Backup 8 is a professional backup system designed to archive large amounts of data onto low cost hard drives (typical 3.5" SATA magnetic HDDs), providing a scalable and cost effective solution for managing media files. The chassis is designed for a standard 19" rack mount.

It features 8 independent hard drive bays, making it easy to quickly and safely install and remove drives. Each drive can be accessed simultaneously over the network using 4 x 10G Ethernet ports, providing high speed transfers and advanced connectivity for production environments.

Blackmagic Cloud synchronization lets you save collaborative projects in real time, ensuring files are always up to date and available to your team. You can also use the HDMI monitoring output to monitor the status of your storage in real time on an external display.
