  1. Any reason not to use a BeeStation Plus as a Time Machine target?

    And before you say it doesn’t have RAID, #RAIDisNotAbackup and my only use case is backing up.

  6. Well, crapola. Was replacing disk 1 and it got to 99% when disk 2 gave out. Running rsync's off to some other drives and then I guess a full rebuild is next.

    Unrelated, how are #ugreen NAS's? Worthwhile?

  10. CW: Recreational computer touching

    Me: This data is important and cannot be re-created if lost, so in addition to making a local NAS copy I'm gonna do a backup in the cloud.
    Computer: Okay.
    Me: Progress-bar is taking ages to progress. I'll let it run and do something else with my time.
    Computer: Computer-touching has stopped so I'll go to sleep.
    Me:
    Computer: Huh? Why'd you wake me up?
    Me: Only 80GB to go. You can do this.
    Computer: Zzzz.
    Me: Sneakernet is starting to look like a viable option.

  15. Day 2 in a series of fixing #homelab hardware things I've been putting off for far too long. A 5 drive raid6 of 2Tb disks...11 years old... that is down to 3 drives. I bought replacement 16tb drives weeks ago, but never got around to it. I have backups, of course, but I don't *want* to use them. Watching an rsync in 1st terminal, while I'm watching dmesg SPEW out SATA errors in the 2nd terminal. I don't know if it'll last the night!... #raidisnotabackup #linux

  19. On the one hand, I instantly had a cold sweat when I saw the SMART failures. On the other hand, it’s mildly reassuring that the SMART monitoring does indeed provide some heads up about impending doom.

    I really need to find a better way to back up these 96TB.
