Just put a 6TB drive in my media server. I was going to put in another 4TB, but the cost per TB was not that much worse, so I decided to give it a go. There's also the issue that I only had room for one more drive anyway, and I wanted to RAID-1 the OS and important data partitions too.
I'm still learning the ins and outs of using btrfs too. I recently found this btrfs snapshot based backup utility that I'm going to give a try:

This should be a lot, lot faster and more efficient than using rsync and rsnapshot for disk-to-disk backups with my current scheme.
- ruediste 12y agoHow is it going?
- ansible 12y agoI haven't tried that backup utility yet. I'm frankly a little nervous to trust it with valuable data. I'll run it and something based on rsnapshot for the near term. Now I just have to figure out if I've got enough external drives for that, or do I need to buy more. I'll likely first try to run things so that the btrfs snapshots are running over the Internet, which will really cut down on the time and bandwidth needed. And as a backup use rsnapshot locally.
