hello, "old school": i have an older pc of mine sitting in a corner, running linux - atm debian testing/trixie -, & its filled with a bunch of "somewhat outdated" hdds - of various sizes. to access it i use * borgbackup/vorta * rsync over ssh (external) * rsync over nfs (internal) * samba a remark on reliability: * i make at least 2 copies of important data to different hdds * the system is only active during backups and is disconnected from power - to avoid data-loss/problems due to lightning or power-surges. * and yes, i don't disconnect the lan-cable - but what would live be w/o risks ;)) a remark on filesystems for such setups: yes, btrfs would be great - respect the conjunctive here ;) - it would be great to create snapshots / generations etc. but using rsync over larger datasets to a btrfs filesystem, especially if you have a lot of smaller files, can be very time-consuming ... so i went back to ext4 ... and using rsync itself for snapshots ... sadly ;)) cheersv
