fstab updated. Just needed to use UUID=, not PARTUUID. I do notice
significantly long boot times now, guess it takes a while to get the
RAID1 up. Used to take 5 seconds to be available to ssh into, now takes
about 45 seconds to a minute.
I think I'd like the server to initiate the backup.
I've been running CentOS NAS servers for the past 15 years. I can usually
find a decent rackmount server on eBay for around $99 that I imagine was
probably used in the financial industry for a year or so and then turned
over to a liquidator for disposal. I then load the drive bays with SATA
drives
In my mind, the client is what gets backed up. The host stores it.
I hadn't considered ransomware. I think ZFS snapshots on the host would
work well w/o using much more space.
@Bruce Labitt I did Solaris up until just after the
Oracle takeover (Solaris 11 even!), including some at home. I've
Thanks for the compliment. Put a bit of work into it. Self taught hobby

months. Embarrassed to say how long I've been using Linux, as I keep on
asking basic questions.

I've had clients initiate rsync for security. I think the client
initiation would offload the rsync compute from the server.

For a home server, it's nice to just monitor
Finally back to this. Built a stack of metal plates that house my RPI4,
a boot SSD, a 1TB RAID1 array, and both active and passive USB3 hubs.
Machined parts so everything is bolted and clamped down. Have a PWM fan
that cools the RPI4 proportional to load that runs under systemd.

I'll take a look at that. Thanks for the link.

Actually, at the moment I am forced to run on a RPI4-4GB. My laptop PS
died. I'm aware of many of the downfalls of an RPI, I've had a few PI's
over the ages. Mercifully, they are getting better. One cannot run an SSD

Unless you build multiple Ethernet or WiFi or LTE modem connections your
networking will still be the slowest thing.
You do not need huge amounts of CPU power, or huge amounts of RAM.
My basic point is that if you stick with simple RAID
I'm not sure about the Raspberry Pi 4, but up thru the raspi 3+ there are...
problems, e.g.:
Beware of USB on the raspi: there are some bugs in the silicon that pretty
severely
cripple performance when multiple `bulk' devices are used at simultaneously,
sometimes to the point of making it
And make sure you get alerts when something fails.
There are a number of commercial NAS like Synology out there if you don't
want to build it yourself.
I'd also add some kind of offsite storage. If you have decent internet
speed, cloud storage is a good choice.
Something with error correction
I forgot one thing:
Set up a shell script to do a simple diagnostic on both systems to detect a
failed or failing system. Run two or three times a day.

I will suggest something and let people rip it apart:
Get two RPis that have at least USB 2.0 Attach two large capacity disks to
each one in a RAID-1 configuration (also known as "mirroring") to keep it
simple. If one disk fails the other will still keep working (but you should
replace it as
I know this is not really an answer to the question but I've spun up a
small server on AWS with some storage that I snapshot every 6 hours.. i
installed 'owncloud' on the server and i have an owncloud client on my
laptop and my iphone.. really happy with it.. share the space with the
whole family.
Nuts, what I meant was NAS. There's open media vault, are there others that
"easy enough" for relative beginners?

For the second time in 3 months I have had a computer failure. Oddly, it
was a PS on the motherboard both times. (Two different MB's.) Fortunately
the disks were ok. I'm living on borrowed time. Next time, I may not be
that lucky.
Need a file server system with some sort of RAID redundancy.
