I managed to get an 18TB HDD WD easystore from BestBuy for $199. My current TrueNAS Scale (ruunning as a Proxmox VM) setup is new and not being backed up at the moment.
I have a 3 HDD pool of 4TB for 7TB useable. In TrueNAS, I also run all the Arrs as well as Plex.
Although I know backing up to 1 drive is usually NOT recommended, I was wondering if I decide to go this route, what would be the best approach? My main goal is to backup the plex media datasets (NFS). Here is my take at this:
- Create pool with new HDD (stripe)
- Create a replication task and run it.
Also, as far as I am concerned, I need to unmount the pool if I were to unplug the USB easystore drive, correct?
Or should I just create another VM
