if the data is mission critical have multiple backups for it, and test the restore process of said backups.

As for your raid vs software raid, just install truenas and throw it on there, use a LSI in IT mode and create a ZFS cluster. Don’t over think it.

Thanks. I’ve got Gigabit Fiber so I guess I’ll try Hetzner as a remote backup, or see how much it will cost to upgrade my Google Workspace account since they started enforcing their storage quotas.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
