Hi All
I am currently looking to start an OMV server at home. It will hold all media (obviously lol) as well as be a place to link home directories and somewhere I can have an offline backup solution for my Steam/GOG libraries. I have a machine that I want to do it in, an i3 with 8GB RAM, and am planning out the storage. My current thinking is 3/4 drives of probably 3/4TB in RAID 5 to add some resiliency and also have just one virtual drive to deal with. However I would like to also have a proper backup. This is where I am stuck. I did think tape drive but the cost of the drive and tapes is silly so I am thinking HDD with some form of incremental backup that can expand as the my storage usage goes up.
So with that setting up my question: (is there a/what is the best way) to have OMV backup to another disk and then move onto another one once it is full? USB is the obvious connection and I can get one of those cheap docks to do it with. Would be possible to also do it with a some compression to help reduce the size needed of the backup disks?
Any help is greatly appreciated
