Hi to all, i'm new of OMV and after read some things in forum .... i'm more confused .
All is born from my old wanted to made experiment ...and new problem...google photos' bonus of 100 gb finished
So, i bought all for create an home NAS box that can be energy saver and have things for backup important things (an other stuff like DLNA, etc).
So, i had (before read here), clear idea of my configuration for storage: 1 ssd for OS, 1 normal disk for home share folder (temporary things, downloads, etc) and 2 disk WD red of 4TB in raid 1 for only my backup things (this is the bad idea).
After read suggestions of user @tkaiser i understand that really raid 1 is maybe not a good idea.
What i want obatain is a place for keep my personal things: photos and video of phone (nextcloud plugin can do this), old video ported from film videocamera, raw photos of reflex, documents, etc, with almost normal safe .. (I understand that is not perfect configuration due to fire accidents or other things.. but some intermediate security can be accepted).
I want also that OMV keep my backup disk in sleeping mode when i don't write nothing on them ... and bring them online when some data comes from network (i hope is possible setup).
So, if i understand, what i need is not RAID 1 but something like Btrfs (wich is in development).
I hope someone can help me to clarify my confusion...but is better know all now than change after.
Thank you very much for help
Marco
