I'm still for Raid6 here
so I need another server to backup my server?
are synology servers as trash as I think they are?
synology is overpriced hardware with a shitty UI
Yep
but it works if you dont want to fuck around
yes and yes
And a shitty UI
i meant ui not io lol
You could just encrypt your entire NAS and put it on Azure archive storage. They're a few $/tb as long as you don't access it @futuremoe
That's basically storage tape as a service
azure is €0,0017 per GB, aws is €0,004 per GB
cold storage
Cheap af but takes a day to access. Tho I would encrypt everything before uploading it because it's Microsoft
Yeah that's 1.75€/TB
but you pay out the ass for data retrieval
Yes but that's just for emergency
I think it's ok for backups
Let's say you need it once every 3-4 years
archive storage is fine. what's the difference between hot/cold?
Hot = expensive to store, cheap to access
Cold = cheap to store, expensive to acceas
and archive is cool on steroids?
Yes
Iirc the cheapest plan of azure for archiving has one day of latency to access a file
it would be 10 € a month for 5TB archive
Like, you have to request a day in advance
that's fine it's mostly my blu ray rips
I doubt it's going to cost that much but I can't check rn
I'm not paying that much
first 50tb azure archive is €0.0019 per GB a month
Switch location away from Germany
Select some US location
They might be cheaper
Northern Europe is cheap too
That's Ireland
Right
For some reason that's called North lol
I should check my Azure bill
I pay about 200 € / month for all the shit I have but I have no clue what I'm paying for the single services
I know that I have about 30 TB in cold storage
But I also have some VMs and some databases
