Cheap and lacks chassis.
How many calories is isopropyl?
remote backup?
looks good, i like it!
I lost all my data once when I was around 15. Then I started using older PCs for backup/storage servers. Now I have a not so cheap set up, but it's still a work-in-progress.
(Assuming the images load). The top two HP servers run Unraid, the bottom Supermicro runs Windows Server with 104TB.
Juicy
Send them my way
And i'll send you the electricity bill
Jokes aside
Once you loose pictures, you wont do the same mistske again
When i was ur age i was also very sensitive about safeguarding my data. I remember buying several usb lacie 3.5 from media markt just to have multiple copies in case a drive failed. Lo & behold one particular drive failed and i lost all my photos from europe. I kept on looking for the drive's duplicate pcb, the hope was that an exactly matched board cud help me recover the data. Around 11 years after the drive failure and almost a dozen different boards i finally managed to get the drive running. Copied all the media but now i felt different. I wasnt as eager to see all those pictures and the recovered data didnt seem so important all of a sudden.
Now I just use google photos, mainly to save photos and videos of my kids & family. Even an own nextcloud setup feels like an unnecessary chore.
To be precise, it is a remote cold backup. It only turns on the power through IPMI when needed and starts the backup. It will shut down once the backup is completed.
I used old motherboard, RAM and CPU, only the HDD is new to save costs.
Home server becomes pointless if the power usage goes above 50 watt.
Not if you borrow the power from your neighbor.
i sadly need home assistant and local files... unsure how to bring the wattage down
i think 15 or so is for router and switch already
How many neighbors and power extensions ya got?
restore them using mirror that were in granny house, or in my summer house, or the one in azure cold storage.
you're not too poor to implement 3-2-1 backup at bare minimum right? unless the data is not that important ofc
nah nah, my backup is safe
like
it's all incremental as well
I might or might not have been influenced by someone
Now you too have a datacenter!
Can't wait for you to start selling on LET!
i was wondering why the backup at my mom does not work, it's dead, like dead dead
i think it's the hard drive case, but cant test
glad i have like 3 more locations
aaaand discord deleted my pics on the front page... anyways
just a short update
figured out i can do a proxmox backups of full vms (like home assistant) to a external hdd daily
so i did, and using black magic and pain in the ass i managed to mount proxmox filesystem inside of duplicati
so now im pushing these proxmox backups using duplicati to external location
nice!
For me, incongruently, the VMs that matter the most are backed up less frequently than the least important ones, because I don't want to shut them down as often for taking backups. Thus the backup frequencies are 1 to 7 days.
I take live backup, thats enough for me tbh
@alvaro and @DeadlyChemist and others... it's just for backups or run the business on it? because it consumes 24x7 electricity ... really worth it??
I suggest you implement data compression and deduplication this can help reduce storage requirements and optimize your backup space usage.
Backups
I need atuff like home asisstant so dont really have a choice but to run 24/7
Electricity consumption is very low, plus I have a little energy left over from my ongrid solar power system.
I use it as my personal file server, in addition to having some containers backing up mine and some clients' servers.
