June 20, 201313 yr does anyone keep a tape backup of their 10-20+ TB 'unraid' data? I think most of us keep their copies on torrents/blurays As for the irreplaceable data (pictures, home movies, etc), I keep a backup copy on offline HDD... @jeff.lebowski: still scared? how about making a smaller (3-4 disks) unraid on the new machine and start populating it with things you access on daily basis, backed up on your regular/trusty server, to test. I plan to do that with mine...
June 20, 201313 yr So how do you guys backup large volumes of data? IBM 3592 tapes here. With lots of large jukeboxes. And lots of disk for caching / staging. But that's work. For unraid volumes of data (large is a relative term) I use crashplan and send a couple of copies of important data offsite.
June 20, 201313 yr I simply write everything to a backup disk when I copy it to UnRAID. As each disk fills, I replace it, and store the full one offline. This takes ~ 1 disk/year with modern 3-4 TB drives.
June 22, 201313 yr Author Today the last of the the other server's contents finally copied over using TeraCopy. I'm going to let it sit while I'm on vacation. When I return, I'll run a parity check, then delete from the other server. Eek...
June 22, 201313 yr use can use md5deep on each server. Save the md5sum files and compare. you can run md5deep on the source, bring over the md5sum file, then run md5sum using the md5sum from the source as long as the paths match.
June 26, 201313 yr Back in April, I bought one of the 24 bay Supermicro servers. I finally got the modifications complete, and it's been running for eleven days on version 5.0-rc13. No issues at all. The disks run cool, and that's great. One minor issue is with the UPS appears to not be reporting correct values on the freewill/Settings/apcupsd page, but that's not a huge deal. I'll end up swapping its ES 550G for a BR1000G anyway. But I'm scared to load it up with data. Scared as hell. It's got 8tb of free space just sitting there, and I don't want to use it. Help me. :'( Given the current data bug in the latest RC's it turns out this was quite a valid concern! Perhaps you have a sixth sense where data is concerned..
June 26, 201313 yr a manual sync helps. md5 on the source. copy files manual sync reboot check the md5 on the destination.
