Where do you store your documents and data?

[Ice_Black]

on your PC, do you save your data on "My Documents"?

 

If you store on the network, do you use unRAID for that? I assume you mount "My Documents" to unRAID share.

I use Windows default documents locations. I use Backblaze for real-time back up, and Acronis True Image for a weekly backup to the unRaid server.

 

I used to remap My Documents to file server (not unRaid back in those days) and that worked fine most of the time until I had a catastrophic failure that took server down couple days and I could not get at my work files for that time. I did have backups BUT of the server location using a tape drive on that PC.

 

Lesson learned... have multiple locations backing up AND your local copy.

On Windows PC, with nightly backups to unRAID, and monthly backups to externals for offsite storage. Also monthly image of Windows PC on unRAID using Acronis.

One of my domain controllers is a physical box that has a 4TB RAID10 array (on a Areca controller, not the Intel software RAID). I have a share on there and re-directed Documents, Desktop, Music, etc to that share.  It gets backed up nightly to my backup server and continuously to CrashPlan.  One of the reasons I did this was so I only had to install CrashPlan in one place and cover all our important data.
