Ahoy! My internal hdds are at max with all I've been torrenting and I'm considering some type of Docking station for my desktop with several 10Tbs drives in them to allow me to store and backup my data for offline protection.

I was wondering if anyone had done any type of setup like this and if it's a reliable method for offline data storage. I'd also like it to have a RAID capability but I have software which can mirror drives to each other on startup/shutdown, etc. Also, I'd need it to have a USB-type connection for a USB SSD drive to pop-out & connect to my Smart TV for viewing.

An end goal would be to get a 3-2-1 setup but I can't find a reliable Cloud storage I'd trust with that much data except maybe Filen.

Any positive input about brands, drives, services, etc. would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

apparently Backblaze Desktop doesn't support Linux.

I haven't tried it, but apparently if you do a mapped network drive in Windows then BackBlaze will let you back it up as normal.

Unfortunately the client seems to explicitly skip network shares, so unless there's some trickery I don't think that is viable.

Seems explicitly against TOS too now:

I'm all for any workaround, but worth noting so we don't get OOP caught out unexpectedly
