• I've run replication across 2 NAS's but as I say, it's for redundancy of data availability rather than a bombproof backup.

    Imagine the following scenarios:

    1. house is broken in to and computer equipment gets stolen
    2. NAS1 will not power on - fully dead hardware.
    3. You accidentally delete an important file and do not notice for 6 months.

    Which of these would replication to a second NAS solve?

    Additionally, NAS2 is equally likely to fail, giving you a false sense of security about your data integrity.

    If you think the internet is a passing fad or have very sensitive data then backup to cold storage, in a fireproof safe, ideally offsite. Otherwise backup to a reliable cloud subscription service. There are lots

  • Just out of interest and because you might know. How do the cloud services ensure they don't suffer data loss?
