I've just about completed the upgrades to my Unraid server. Was taking an inventory of all of the spare hardware I now have, and it got me thinking. Perhaps it is time to build a backup server. I already have a solid backup strategy for all of my data, except for my media. This backup server would be just the place to plug that hole.
My hope for this thread is for the folks here who have an Unraid backup server to share their solutions of backing up one server to another. For me
It is done. The backup server is running in the way I had hoped, and have the initial backup of my media now contained in it. Figure I would write up a post build report, both to help anyone looking to do something similar, and for me to have a place to come back to when I question "Why did I do that?".
Many thanks go to @Hoopster and @Aran, whose input to this thread got me thinking of how to put this all together. Also a h/t to RealLukeManning (don't know if he is a forum member
