I was considering a pre-built solution, from sinology but the "closed system" scares me a bit and, as I live far from any support (Roraima state - Brazil - AKA: nowhwere), I will need to get my hands dirty. I used windows because of memory issues over FreeNAS (1gb of ram per TB of data was expensive for me at the time). We are scanning family pictures that date to the 1940s, VHS, etc, plus all our cellphones, DSLR, and other stuff. My main goal is to keep my docs and pictures safe. Then I used a 2tb my passport to sync pictures only for a second copy, just in case, as our internet speed is only 300kbps, so I can avoid being worried during the time crashplan takes to upload the files (better safe than sorry). I synced the drives using GoodSync (a nice piece of software if you ask me), with crashplan backing up all the stuff. To control it I have set Booting time is about 4 minutes. I have a 2012 microserver from HP (N40l), wich I use with windows 10, 2gb of ram and a windows share for each drive (yeah, it is the worst case possible but this worked for 5 years), with a 250, 320, 750 and a 3 tb HD. The plan is to keep my main machine and a spare one to achieve the 3-2-1 backup strategy (3 copies, 2 different devices, 1 offsite). I am planning to set a FreeNAS build to help me with my crashplan backup.Īs crashplan in moving to end the family subscription, and with the dollar rates floating, we won't be able to keep more than 2 machines.
