![]() ![]() So the suggestion of some to go that route is a valid one, if we are talking economics. I guess I could do 2 in raid 1, which gives me 4TB space instead of 8TB when using a 5 disk raid 5 system.Ī quick check suggests that 10TB external drives are potentially more affordable. ![]() Rather than throw them away, I thought it’d be an economical idea to reuse them as part of a NAS system in RAID 5. In general, I have 5 disks of 2TB lying around gathering dust. (which is not correct syntax for variable use, but to give you an idea). Rsync -avHS /SourceDirectory | tee -a /TargetDirectory/ArchiveName Look at 'man rsync' for the full syntax you could use something like The date command will output a date in many formats, so you can play around with that and use it to generate a filename. Useful commands for text processing are grep, awk, cut (there are more). Unix shell commands are designed to be able to accept input from and send output to a pipe, so you can daisy chain them. The "man" command will give you the syntax of shell commands. There's an introduction here, and you can find more help on the web. Unix (and thus MacOS) shell scripting is very powerful. Id like to stay w native MacOS programs (cmd line is fine) to do similar tasks.Ĭan the output of running rsync be piped to a text/log file named w current date/time? Can you pass parameters into the rsync to set the log file name as I just mentioned? JF - can you share how you utilize rsync? I’m currently using only Windows machines and have several Batch files running “robocopy” started by the native task scheduler. With RAID, your data becomes unreadable if the enclosure or RAID controller card fails.īuy a few large drives, and, use "rsync" (ideally) or TimeMachine to do backups. Large drives are simpler, therefore, more reliable. With reliable inexpensive large drives now, 4TB, 6TB, 8TB, 10TB. Of course in raid 5.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My preference is a 5 disk unit, but 4 disk would also be fine. I also prefer an Ethernet connection so I can share the NAS on my network. TerraMaster D5-300 USB3.0(5Gbps) Type C 5-Bay Synology DS418 4 Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure Synology DS918+ 4 Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure I got a list here and I was hoping some of you could advice me on what is good value for money: I know synology is good, but they’re the most expensive of the bunch. Of course I do want to sides no more than necessary. I got about 5 disks of 2TB, so I was thinking getting a 4 or 5 disk NAS. So I was thinking to upgrade to something bigger. I got a synology DS21x (I think it’s 212), but it’s way too small at 2GB in raid 1.
