. Is the 4 much faster than a 3b+
I've been using a 2gb pi4 as my main work computer for nearly a month. Compiling large and complex executables. I've been really impressed. 4k60hz display, handles compilation and browsing really well, decent thermal efficiency also.
I haven't done anything like what you are doing but I can confirm that the 4 is fuck loads faster than a 3b+.
I only decided to try it out of curiosity while my wife borrowed my desk and I couldn't be bothered to move my PC. The fact I haven't moved back should indicate how happy I am with the Pi4!

I finally got my Raspberry pi set up (it involved a lot of cursing around network shares and permissions, particularly when I accidentally overwrote the fstab file and everything became read only).
Not quite sure about the speed though. Repairing a downloaded 30GB file with pars looks like it may take the best part of a day. Is the 4 much faster than a 3b+?
Also, a couple of housekeeping questions.
How are people backing up their pis? I could just take the card out and back it up but I'd prefer something more maintenance free. It's for access to network drives so the obvious seems to be to back up to there.
Can you get the pi (raspbian) to auto update? M fine with it randomly restarting when it needs to.
