Greetings!
Today while casually browsing the iNet my Music suddenly stopped playing and while at first I believed it to be an issue with Xbox Music I later discovered that the Culprit was actually one of my RAID0 HDD's which decided to go AWOL - The Intel RST Manager confirmed this by showing that the 4th Drive ( I'm running two separate RAID0 with two drives each ) was missing.
A restart didn't solve the issue at first but physically removing the affected RAID and installing it back again using the SATA connectors of the other RAID0 for testing did. Interestingly enough even now that I installed everything back like it was before it appears to be fine so I'm not quite sure where I stand right now but suddenly I'm in the Market for BackUp Solutions, again.
Again? Yea... Every once in a while I test BackUp solutions but I'm never really happy with the outcome as with ~7TB of Data using USB3.0 or Ethernet it usually takes like forever to do such a task and this is where I usually go: "**** this rubbish..." /fliptable
I just crunched some numbers and, unless I'm terribly wrong, with the amount of Data I have it would even take me ~6h of BackUp time on a 420MB/sec ThunderBold 2 BackUp solution which is not possible as I cannot install the additional required Hardware thus making me cringe at the thought of using either USB3.0 or Ethernet which is magnitudes slower -_-
Right now I'm considering in converting my second PC into a BackUp System itself by getting large enough HDD's, install them into the primary PC first in order to quickly copy all the files and then move them into the secondary PC.
From there one I plan to use BTSync which is technically not a BackUp software but pretty much behaves like one as it simply copies all files of a selected folder from the primary PC to the secondary PC which it cannot find there in an actual version.
And it's easy to use as well.
So what's your opinion on this plan?
Maybe other suggestions?
Thanks in Advance
