As for what they are used, there are two main servers that are always on, with VMs and the data I need day to day, they also serve as partial backups of each other, then I have mostly cold archive servers, 5 in total and for each of those there's also another one that acts as a full backup, another server for backup of the array for one the the main servers, which doesn't need daily backups, currently also a couple of Chia farms and a couple of test servers which for now share the same key since only use one at a time. I would hate to see your electric bill Just 1 for me, well 1 at trial stage while I test things to see if I take the plunge.

October 13, 20223 yr 2 Unraid servers. Brought the first one up three weeks ago and only recently acquired an Unraid OS Plus key. The second one I am configuring now. It will be very limited in scope, just used for offsite backup. Could probably just get by with s bare linux box and some rsync commands, but think I will find reasons to grow its functionality as I get more familar with Unraid.
October 16, 20223 yr Two unraid licenses but only one server runs 7x24 currently. I have other servers running 7x24 including OpenMediaVault and commercial NAS units. There are just too many performance and other issues with Unraid for it to be my sole solution.
May 18, 20233 yr I'm currently running six unRAID servers. And I plan to setup two to three more. After I finish transferring data from my first three unRAID servers (only 2TB, 3TB, and 4TB drives), to my second three (Five 14TB drives in each). The first three still use the Reiser file system. So I want to move everything off of them. And then I will take the 20+ 4TB drives I have in the first three unRAID servers. And use those to setup four unRAID servers.
July 20, 20232 yr 2 unraid Systems. Since I discovered some limitations in unraid I had to split to 2 Servers. And if Multiarray does not come soon I will have to think about a third one. Specs: look at my sig.
September 8, 20241 yr Between me and my friend we have 6 unraid licenses from the old system 4 basic 2 plus keys we have them deployed between a few city and used for a variety of use cases. 2 Main Licenses that run a Plex system 2 that run samba and generic docker for networking diagnostic 2 that we use for testing between theses we have built a ring for file sahring to keep important data backed up. ATM, 2 systems our down for re work, and 2 our running the beta 7 to test new features and check with our use case. the occasional trial download to mem test and other as we build out 2 locations as we look at other os and use case with a variety of Hardware. So, 2 key usb changes mby in the future, but otherwise 5+ unraid ssytem in the long term more for a simplified web ui use. Most of what we do can be run on other distros but without a easy to use interface. I don't like to live in the terminal for everything.
May 23, 20251 yr I'm running 3.1 - Main storage for media, dockers.2 - Backup of #13 - offsite backup of #1 Edited May 23, 20251 yr by kolepard Original posted accidentally and was incomplete.
June 15Jun 15 I have 5, about to add a 6th. 1 is personal, 2nd is an archive server, 3rd is for business at an office location, 4th is also at another office location, 5th is a server I host in my new data centre I built that runs VM's for them and doubles as an offsite backup location for them and 6th is about to be deployed and will be hosted at my data centre for a friend as they live in a small house. If anyone is looking to have their server hosted in canada, hit me up! I also have static ip's that can be assigned!
June 18Jun 18 2 Unraid Licenses, 1 active, one for testing only1 backup server (Windows)1 Freebsd Server (Mail, Homepage and a lot of network stuff) (*)1 Windows PDC (just for DNS, MS-DNS is so easy to handle, no match in the *nix world) (*)(* these are Mini PCs with 2*10G and 2*2.5G LAN interfaces, power consumption <15W each)
