I’m trying to get the best value, whilst avoiding making noob mistakes and getting in way over my head.Īre you wanting to back up to your NAS, from your NAS, or both?ĭo you want your parents backups to go to you, the cloud, or both? Plus my parents have a very limited data cap.įrankly, i’d rather avoid Windows - i’d much rather a Pi or my old Synology than something rather running Win7 24x7. Basically i’m not sure i’d trust myself to build a robust and secure system. I’d love to set up a tunnel between my parents and myself but i simply don’t have the skills, and keeping security up to date and tight would trouble me. The problem there is i’d have to set my parents up separately (as it is per device). All my backups would go to Windows, and then from it to the cloud. I was looking at re-purposing my aging and under-powered Synology NAS as my new backup server, but looking at cloud storage pricing maybe it’s better value to run a bloody Windows machine as a backup server (i have no other use for this device that i can think of) and use Backblaze’s unlimited size single-machine account. My parents also have perhaps 500gb of photos to backup (a different site). I fail to see why someone can upload 10TB from a Windows box but that’s totally no-no for Linux.ġ PC - Linux (dual-boot Windows 7, but i doubt i’d bother backing up Win7 - it’s 99% for games).ġ unRAID server (i don’t actually have this yet, but will hopefully early next year)ġ Synology NAS (currently my ‘server’ but old and underpowered).Īpprox 1.5TB i’d send to the cloud, about 3TB more i wouldn’t. I just wish they had an unlimited single-device Linux plan. I was thinking of utilising Duplicati and Backblaze B2 as their prices seem competitive and people seem fairly happy with their offerings. I also will have a File Server i’d like to back up. My inexperience with Linux also has me worried about accidentally destroying data. The recent spates of cryptolocker type attacks has me worried about my parents (Windows) and my wife (Windows). About a year ago i switched to Linux and started using TimeShift, which is really designed for OS rollbacks rather than backing up data per se. I’ve never had a ‘proper’ backup plan, relying on manually running Robocopy in Windows for a few years. I’ve spent the last few weeks learning about and testing Duplicati.
