After Christmas, I think I'm going to spec out a simple two drive 10tb RAID server running a pair of K80s so I can run my NAS and my models on one beefy machine and have all my backups automagically when I am home.

A raid is not a backup.

But also look at Unraid and maybe more, smaller drives.

Fair point. I'll probably run a RAID5 with extra drives and replicate to a cloud location for DR. Should be more than sufficient for my needs and the rate I generate data. I haven't done any specing out yet -- just brainstorming.

I'm new to the scene. If a raid isn't a backup, then what is?

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

It provides redundancy in case a drive fails, but there's no protection if you accidentally delete a file. That's why they say "RAID is not a backup."

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Something where your files won't disappear due to a single errant command or ransomware.

Raid can be redundancy, backup is when the data is offsite(be it cloud or drive offsite) to prevent situations like fires or floods from destroying your data. If all your data is in the same place, its still not safe
