Hey guys. I have looked at a lot of posts, but don't see much talk of specifics on backups. Any recommendations on what file system to run on my offsite backup? EXT4, NTFS??
After all my reading I see that I should get one more drive. I had planned on 3x4TB in raidz1, but I see that raidz2 is the way to go. Now I am wondering what about read errors from my backup? Is there a file system that doesn't run the risk of loosing the whole drive on a read error?
The files on that setup will be a mix of some that I need to have (pictures, movies), and others I could live without, but would be nice to keep (movies, music).
So for backup I had planned on running rsync to offsite on something less elaborate than freenas. I don't have enough hardware to create another freenas and do replication. The offsite will have 2x1.5TB and 1x2TB. I will have to pick only the good stuff to backup. I am thinking I should avoid JBOD so one failure won't loose the whole works.
Thanks for the help on a slightly off-topic question.
