it’s a systemd unit on my side, so i’ve got logging and potential to implement reporting if i desired, but frankly it’s not worth the effort, i just check to see if the drives have roughly the same data on them every so often, because rsync is handling the rest for me, as well as systemd.
I should probably set up proper smart reporting, but i’m lazy and don’t want to setup and email server lol.
my 18tb exos drive acting as a backup for my other 18tb exos drive is looking at you with disappointment right now.
you forgot my other 18tb exos drive which is also looking at you in displeasure due to the fact that you do not have a proper backup of your data.
(but for real though, I do have good backups. restic is the shit)
oh good, this one is mirrored, perfect.
Yeah i have some very manual backups setup, rsync and task scripting go brrr.
I don’t need anything more complicated in my life frankly.
I started using Pushover to alert me about my backups so I get one of these daily:
Wasn’t too hard and only had to do it once.

I used to send email alerts but this just uses Pushover which is just an API call. Super easy.
i’ve considered setting it up, but i don’t think smartd supports pushover so meh.
