Digital BW, The Print

It is cheaper to buy a few 4 TB external drives and backup on a continuous
basis - get a robust backup program - preferably from a trusted source you
expect to be in business for a long time to come, even if it is relatively
expensive. Once a week take a one time backup and send the physical drive
into off site storage (bank safety locker, or some such). Cloud remains
slow, and quite expensive for the more trustworthy names once your
requirements reaches multiple terabytes, because the pricing goes into the
realm of enterprise rates.

Have a look at this to narrow your requirements down:

If you have a Thunderbolt port on your machine, this might be the best bet
(for MAC or Windows) - it will give you blazing speed:
