  • Additional Micro sd cards for backup question.

    Where's best to buy a batch? Say half a dozen, 32gb, reliable? Ideally not Amazon.

    Thought RS components would be ok but the named brands i recognise are twice the price of the noobs sd cards at pihut.

    Alternatively, is backing each pi sd up to a single USB drive a better option provided I name them to make it clear which is which to restore any device the sd fails on?

    I currently have no backups so it's only a matter of time before one of my devices fails and I have to start over.

  • Get a network drive and automatically perform backups of everything over the network?

    Manual backups strikes me as the type of thing that are bound to get forgotten.

  • Network Drive is an option which would suit other needs too... any recommends?

    Re: sd it's a backup of the configuration that matters most & ability to plug in a fresh sd card to get going again quickly. Each pi (5 now) has a different set-up for it's purpose so it'd be good to have that on sd ready as that side is unlikely to change along moving forwards. Only one of these pi's is for storing files long term, the 400, so that has a little SanDisk usb drive plugged in at present which isn't long term good idea either I guess.
