How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS? (lemmy.world)

I have a 56 TB local Unraid NAS that is parity protected against single drive failure, and while I think a single drive failing and being parity recovered covers data loss 95% of the time, I'm always concerned about two drives failing or a site-/system-wide disaster that takes out the whole NAS.

For other larger local hosters who are smarter and more prepared, what do you do? Do you sync it off site? How do you deal with cost and bandwidth needs if so? What other backup strategies do you use?

(Sorry if this standard scenario has been discussed - searching didn't turn up anything.)

No.

I'm saying 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% ≠ 100%

For some people that's close enough. For some of us it's not.

Prove otherwise. I dare you. I'm done putting in effort explaining the obvius to you. Your turn.

So being encrypted before transmission and at rest isn't enough simply because someone at backblaze can send the encrypted files out to you on a HDD........

lol

Nice ragebait.

If you genuinely still think that was my point in its entirety, you are truly obtuse.
