jordan Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Everything - photos of the kids, home video, all my college coursework, my business files, everything. Poof - it's just locked inside a dead hard drive. So I just want to say a little thanks to the community and unraid because, of course, the server emailed me the drive suddenly failed, the server is running perfectly fine serving my files from the cache, and I only needed a few minutes to power down the server, and swap in a spare drive which is now being rebuilt. It's been pretty good for a "bad Monday." Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Even if you are recovering this time you should always have separate backups of any important files (preferably at least one copy off site) as otherwise they are always at risk. Quote Link to comment

Agreed, I trust Unraid a lot, but I still offsite backup important stuff like photos. Quote Link to comment
jordan Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I should add that all of my really important stuff is backed up to a cloud service and all but the last couple of days is on a portable drive in my fire safe (because as much as I love cloud backup, a multi-TB download on my internet connection would be painful). edit: by "important stuff" I pretty much mean all of my personal content. My commercial media...well, others have already uploaded that to the cloud, mostly in better quality than my own rips. I:-) Edited December 9, 2019 by jordan Quote Link to comment
