Hi all! I setup my FreeNAS server a couple years back and I have been more than happy with it! I originally had it running on an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and 2GB of RAM without much issue. I recently upgraded to some better hardware and it still runs great. Anyway, I wanted to ask about some best practices for backing up the server. I feel I have it set up pretty well, but I wanted to get some other opinions to see if I could be doing things better.
I have my OS running from a USB stick and I ran a backup of this a while back and the server settings haven't changed really at all. Is there a better way to back up my OS drive?
I have two sets of data drives. Both sets are two physical disks running RAID 1 (mirror). Is there a better mechanism or RAID setup? I have no speed issues as one data drive is a file server, the other is a media server.
I have a UPS attached and configured to power down the server upon power loss. Are there better solutions?
Thanks for your input guys!
