    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.

        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.

            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.

              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.
