Hi

 

I've not used unRAID before and I'm thinking of an unRAID system for acHTPC server application. I want backup redundancy. Given unRAID allows me to save files to specific discs, this seems to be an option (say, disks 1-4 as used data and disks 5-8 as backup). Is it viable to set up unRAID this way? How are periodic backups achieved?

 

A second option is to run 2 servers. Presumably there are no issues running 2 unRAID servers on the same network? Do i need to buy 2 licences, or is there a bulk discount?

 

Thanks very much

 

 

A proper backup has 3 copies of the data, on 2 different types of media, and one copy resides off site.  Having your backup reside on the same computer as the original data is an exceptionally bad idea.

You get the second key at a discount.
