June 16, 201511 yr 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.
June 16, 201511 yr 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.

June 17, 201511 yr 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.
