Interesting... Just last week I started building a much simpler/smaller setup based also on ZFS for personal use: - rpi 3 (running debian testing) - 2x1Tb disks (with usb docking) - zfs (raidz) on the disks - ssh through tor for tunneling purposes I can backup my personal computers and run some extra stuff on the rpi. Yes, it's only USB2, but I don't care. I mostly send incremental snapshots from my computer and it's fast enough. (e.g. zfs send -i yesterday home/user@today | ssh rpi zfs recv home/user) I'm tempted on building a small recv server that can allow partial transfers, but so far it works for me. Also, as soon as encryption is enabled on zfs-linux, I'm turning that on :) Total budget: ~$180 (the most expensive part were obviously the HDDs)
