I'm moving from various cloud drives to local backups. I really would like some suggestion from this sub.
I've 2 backups.
- SSD 1TB - formatted to exFat. I've heard bad things about this fs but I really need this drive to be cross compatible and plug and play. This seemed to be the only sane choice.
- HDD 2TB - formatted to ext4/zfs. Haven't decided on this yet, will probably go with zfs because it auto recovers and doesn't need to run something like fsck. Increased size for versioning.
I'm planning to keep my SSD portable (on a trip etc) and whenever I'm at home, connect it to a system (rasp pi or a regular PC) with photoprism or librephotos installed. HDD is going to be the cold storage.
I tried to follow the 3-2-1 rule but can't afford to get another drive just yet. Although, I'm thinking to get S3 Glacier for that offsite storage.
