I have 8 4TB drives right now, 6 data, 2 raid backups using SnapRaid. I used a gui over it to create snapshots (elucidate i think). Never had to restore data thankfully. Did not want to mess with command lines. I also use DrivePool and configured some folders to duplicate. This setup is about 6 years old, maybe more.
I am about to move my data to 4 or 5 16TB WD Golds…2/2 data/raid or 3/2. Any suggestions for software raid to replace SnapRaid?
True, should do some testing.
If I were to look at Linux based NAS, any suggestions.
If I did stick with SnapRAID, is it still an active project? Can’t tell version release dates.
Thanks.
NAS is wide open full of options. You can get one off the shelf like a Synology or just build a PC and use that as your NAS with a NAS OS like OpenMediaVault, UnRAID, TrueNAS…
SnapRAID is still plenty active. Just check their GitHub. Last update was 12.2 August 2022.
