Re: [Trisquel-users] Large Volume FOSS Backup Options
By the way, I am now considering using a JBOD volume to save a lot of data for cheap. My thinking is I can afford to lose some data because I have multiple snapshot of a lot of data, so if one drive fails one day, I can just replace it with a new one and my backup program can just figure out the rest. I know I should probably do RAID 1 but, its kind of priceyor me... What do you think?

... Interesting. BackInTime's automatic backup is not buggy... Not sure I want to swap to that particular problem. I need hourly automatic backups, per day. Once the day passes, BackInTime determines if any of the backups were worth keeping ... Anyway, I did some research just now and it seems that 12 TB Hard Disks exist! Not cheap, but since I use my backups for professional purposes, I might need to invest in that.

To clarify, I create images, music, video, etc. So, naturally the output files I generate can be compressed or uncompressed. Sometimes when you make a final output file, you need to make a few uncompressed versions of the file before mastering. Regarding, BackInTime -- my current backup software, it does not compress the files do to a problem with hard-links when restoring the file. I think the reason why I left Déjà Dup behind was that it does not "smart delete" backups when the drive is full. I used to use it but I stopped using it years ago in favor of BackInTime.
[Trisquel-users] Large Volume FOSS Backup Options
I've started to notice I will soon need to do some type of high volume backup in the bear future due ti the nature of wirking wuth video, audio and very large graphical source files. I need to be able to archive this work that could grow to be in the tens of terabytes large. What are my options? Tape backup? FOSS tape backup options? Any other suggestions?
