I've got a interesting one for you guys here...
I'm planning on a semi-portable NAS build. I know what your all probably thinking, crazy idea. In truth the NAS will probably be moved/rebooted twice during my long/extended trip.
I'd like to have some of my data from my home NAS accessible while on the trip and will probably be rotating some of what I have at home onto the remote system routinely. I'll get back to that in a moment.
The basic build is going to be as small as feasible but with respectable hardware. It might get some media usage but probably not any transcoding, I can leave my laptop up to that. So no Plex, just file storage and maybe a light VM or 2, nothing crazy.
The build I can handle. Getting files back and forth between 2 NAS devices, is my main question, although ideas on the above are more than welcome.
The only reasonable way to transfer files between the servers is with hard drives and a hot swap bay (no internet expected) So I figured the best option is to just keep hard disks constantly rotating the entire time with new data being shuffled back to the home nas and any data I need from the home nas qued up and somehow copied to the drive that gets sent back. I'll have someone at the primary NAS that can handle putting a drive in, not much more beyond that so some type of script might be a good idea.
Anyone ever attempt something like this?
