In all honesty, I have nothing to back up. No personal files or photos, mostly school work (which I store in online storage and on my USB drive), and games. Nothing worth backing up for me.
If only i had the storage which to do so. If my 1.5T dies i loose quite a few things that, while easily redownloadable, will take at least a month and 1T of bandwidth to get back. I try to keep mental track of all of the things i have downloaded so i can get it all back in the event of a drive failure.
What the heck do you back up to? Or is it a case of one of your unRAID servers acting as backup to the other one? Been planning to create an rsynced mirror of my unRAID server, unfortunately, HDD prices are still too high at the moment. :sigh:
I raid1 my Steam games on 2x2TB drives in an eSata enclosure.
I raid1 my "random storage" (where my documents is stored) on 2x1TB drives in a USB3 enclosure.
I raid1 my media drive (movies, music, etc) on 2 1.5TB greens.
I even back up my desktop, local documents (where game saves are stored) and all AppData to a drive inside my local dev server via cobian backup every 4 hours, zipped and timestamped, cause I never know if/when my boot SSD will just up and die, and I keep some stuff on my desktop.
On TOP of all this, I back up to live drive once a month (canadian "limited" bandwidth) in case the impossible happens and all my drives die simultaneously.
Depends on whether you're backing up 1:1 Blu-ray and DVD rips versus re-compressed AVI and MKV stuff.
