Hi all,
I am a app developer by profession so only have a limited to fair exposure towards hardware (Sorry!)
I may sound a noob in this sub, so apologies for that.
I have nearly a TB of data (maily photos and my code but my code have a git backup so not much worried about those). But the photos are invaluable as I have lost around a decade of photographs due to a service person formating my disk.
Now I am backing up the photos on a Sandisk Extreme SSD and two pen drives, which seems like a bad idea. So thinking of an automatic backup solution which somewhat starts towards the 3-2-1 strategy.
I have an old Thin-client with an i3, and bot worried about speed for most of the redundant backups (only the primary one which family usually access).
Can anyone help to device a strategy - I am not looking for solutions which as expensive like a NAS at this point as I will gradually move towards that but at this pointnoyt able to spend much.
Please don't laugh, but I thought of connecting some 512GB pendrives to the system and do an autobackup daily as a redundancy solution :-) because that also serves my purpose. All I need is a primary disk which we can access daily (we can do that from PC but access through router/wifi is a plus), and a redundant backup solution which ensures my photos aren't lost.
My photos are nearly 400GB only at present but might increase exponentially as we do a lot of travel now.
NB: I have done some search but most posts are above my technical knowledge :-(
Thanks
