Seems the nice forum saved what I had already written, which is a great feature. I spotted this thread two weeks ago and was going to reply, but didn't finish.

I don't back up OS as I have all my configs saved and the software installation is less important to me than the 100's of gigs of data it would take to keep restorable backups that would work as I expect them to. When I have another $200 I plan on buying an 8TB drive and putting a cold storage copy of my data 200 miles up north at my Grandmas.

I use boxcryptor to encrypt all the files except stuff I'm just quick transferring over the network. This backs up to two 8TB drives, and there's a VM on the freeNAS box that backs up to amazon cloud using goodsync again. The freeNAS server has 4 4TB drives and can lose one without any issues. I have my laptop(entirely encrypted), all relevant important folders and other data I want backs up to my freeNAS server using Goodsync. While you have separate owners for the backups which is good, you still need a 'cold storage' copy, or something that doesn't instantly sync in the case of something getting on the server still. I've noticed that you don't have offsite backups. I have done it a few times, and now the compressed backup files on the external hard drive take up twice as much space as the directory that is being backed up. I have been testing it and found that when I add and then remove a file from the backup location it does not get removed from the backup. Well, I am taking several I have found on the internet and adapting them to my needs.Įcho “$stamp: $*” > /run/media/user/seagate_4tb_01/logs/pictures$.log 2>&1 So I am attempting to create a backup script using duplicity.
