Recovering from my current backup solution is expensive, the additional cost is not worth it.
Remaking the entire pool is also a hassle and incurs unnecessary downtime.
Additionally, not all data is backed up, which I will loose, as this is not important data, it's okay to loose during a house fire, but not just for resizing the disk.
Lastly, this operation would likely take a long time, days probably, I'd rather just be able to just ram in another disk and be done with it.
- michaelmrose 9y agoI had assumed you would have a second array as backup for the current pool ensuring zero data loss and easy backup. This would seem to be optimal. Remote backup is obviously a good thing to have too.
- tscs37 9y agoSuch a solution is extremely expensive and inefficient for a home setup.
- michaelmrose 9y agoAll things considered your house will probably never experience a major disaster remote storage has got to be many times more expensive.
