May 17, 201610 yr Hi, I am looking for the best way to backup my media folders? I have an HP Gen8 Microserver that I want to use to store backups of my media and need something that does real time synchronization (with file verification to newly copied files) I am interested in BTSync but I am particularly confused as to whether or not my files are being uploaded anywhere? Any advice/options greatly appreciated!
July 6, 20169 yr Sorry for bringing am old post backup. You could use something like crash plan as you can do free computer to computer backups. But at a basic level you can just do rsync. The only worry there is verifying the backup data against the source after some time in case of bit-rot. Keeping hold of original checksums may help for that though.
July 6, 20169 yr Author I actually went with the crashplan docker and have not looked back! great setup :-)
July 6, 20169 yr Crashplan is a backup tool. It is not a sync tool. So they do different things that are not necessarily interchangeable.
July 6, 20169 yr Author Hi, I understand that but it monitors for any changes and backs them up within a timescale of my choosing and I can specify how long I want to keep the deleted/modified files for as well so best of both worlds! works perfect! :-) Am also backing up 12TB to the unlimited online storage as well so that may take a year or so :-)
