Hi,
I have a budget of around $5,000 CAD and would like to try to back up my data as well as I can. I would like to have 2 backups, 1 onsite 1 offsite.
I have around 35 TB of data that I need to back up, and another 32 TB that I'd like to dedicate to new data.
I'm looking into making a NAS build with RAID1 and creating the same build twice (once offsite, once where I live) but I really don't think that's cost-effective. In terms of drives - eyeing WD Red at the moment.
I'm pretty sure this is a bad idea. I just don't know what would be considered a good idea. I don't know much about this sort of stuff and I'm tired of having 20 hard drives that could fail at any time. I've been lucky that my drives haven't failed in 10 years+ (besides one) but I don't want to take that risk anymore.
Budget could increase theoreticaly to $8,000 CAD if needed but I'm trying to stay under $5,000 as much as I can.
Please help suggest any solutions that I should look into. I don't have a good local network where I live right now, but I am going to move soon and will be able to get 10gbit inside the new place + 1gbit symmetrical offsite.
Thank you!
