Using multiple NAS boxes seems inefficient, a single box would be better.

Photos and docs are much more important that media. RAID 1 for that.
Media will run RAID 0

 

[alfa147x]

Plus the photo box will do some light traveling. Another reason I need them to be seperated

gf;s mother's wine glasses are way too thin. I feel like the glass is going to break any second

 

[Barfo]

Well I'm pretty sure she's super kinky. But what if I get her in bed and can't get it up? :s

I didn't read what you posted before but do you have any other backup besides the raid 1 array? I personally don't actually but they recommended you back stuff up to more than one physical location. Raid 1 technically isn't a backup.

RAID 1 isn't a backup? Hmm interesting any more info?

I have 2 offsite back ups. One across town and one at my parent's house.

 

[alfa147x]

did you tell her?

No. It was a Christmas present from her son. Gf's brother.

They're really nice just too nice? I really liked how they looked but damn they felt fragile.

I regret buying the ones I did. Oh well. I think I spend maybe $10 on 4

While I personally rely on RAID 1 as a means of data protection it's not technically considered a backup. At least not in the world of data centres and IT. A backup is anything that represents a "physically" separate copy of your data that is safe from just about any and all negative scenarios that might befall your primary data. RAID 1 is good and all but it doesn't help you much if you have a flood, fire, or virus that happens to format your HDD. Or if your computer is stolen, or any of a number of other scenarios. A real backup keeps a copy in a different physical location.

 

[alfa147x]

The reason I wanted RAID 1 was for if a drive died. A bi-weekly or weekly (depending on what data) is copied off site.

Thinking about the cost of my wedding again.
Flight tickets for:
Us
gf's family (3)
best friend + his family (5)
________________________
10*$1,500 = $15,000

ROUGH!
damn.

Ok good. The 2nd is the backup. RAID is data redundancy, not a backup method. I know it sounds like semantics but it's not really.

@ getting married, not the cost. When did you decide?

 

[Locut0s]

facebook down for anyone else?

 

[alfa147x]

@ getting married, not the cost. When did you decide?

lol 6 months after we started dating. We're coming up on 3 years

facebook down for anyone else?

Nope

It's just keeping the data safe

 

[Locut0s]

(1)lol 6 months after we started dating. We're coming up on 3 years



(2)Nope



(3)It's just keeping the data safe

1.Lol. Ok well a very late congrats on getting married then.

2.Hmm FP is back up now. But their PM messaging service is down.

3.Yeah. But only safe from drive failure. Not from other things.

 

[Locut0s]

Wish I didn't still feel anxious at work. Working is still a lot better than doing nothing. At least I have a place in the world. And I know I do my job well. But I'm still anxious a lot. Keep feel like the next customer I deal with is going to ask me something I won't be able to deal with. *sigh* anyway.

Off site backup?

...We're not married yet. not even engaged...

 

[Locut0s]

...We're not married yet. not even engaged...

Well you've decided to get married. In my books that's the same thing as engaged.

 

[alfa147x]

lol. In my books the engagement period should last 1 - 1.5 years

Smoke some weed in the backroom?
