New User - Fresh install - Some beginner questions

  • Hey there,


    Hardware:


    HP Microserver N40L
    16 GB RAM
    2 x 3 TB Western Digital Red drives


    Latest OMV installed onto USB.I'm considering switch


    Questions:

    • I want to mirror the disks so that if one disk dies I don't lose anything. What's the best way to achieve this?
    • Is it easy enough to copy a USB install to an SSD in future?
    • Once the disks are mirrored is there a guide for setting up shares? I've had a look and nothing jumped out at me.
    • Is there some way to backup configuration so that if the system disk fails I'll be able to (reasonably) quickly get up and running by reinstalling and re-applying the config?

    Thanks in avance

      Don't use RAID1, but use rsync (e.g. with rsnapshot plugin) to copy data to the second disk on a regular basis. Search the forum for "raid is not backup".

      Clonezilla: have a look at the OMV-extras/Kernel menue
