![]() Redundancy across hardware, geographic locations, etc. Anything that’s not in my physical control should be encrypted. ![]() ![]() Adding & organizing files should be doable without commandline familiarity, so it can serve my whole home. There has to be one place where I can dump files, it has to be simple enough to recover from complete failure of any given piece of hardware even if I haven’t touched it in a long time (because if it is working, I won’t have had to tweak it in months / years). I’m willing to pay about $100-200/year total (including hardware). For me, this is currently about 1TB (+-0.5TB).Ĭheap. What makes up the bulk is photos, some music, and some audio and video files. (Home) scalable – i.e., any reasonable amount of data that I could generate personally I should be able to dump in one place, and be confident that it won’t go away. Different people need different things, but what I need, and have built (hence this post describing the system), fulfills the following requirements: Other files, like photos, or personal documents, generally don’t have a natural redundant home, so they need some backup story, and relying on various online services is risky (what if they go out of business, “pivot”, etc), potentially time-consuming to keep track of (services for photos may not allow videos, or at least not full resolution ones, etc), limited in various ways (max file sizes, storage allotments, etc), not to mention bringing up serious privacy concerns. Some stuff, like code that lives in repositories, may naturally end up in many places, so it perhaps is less important to explicitly back up. ![]()
