Haha.. nice reply.. unfortunately.. as you know.. shit fails 😉
And my time.. which I have little of.. is $$$
Servers have failed in the past… the issue was a blown gfx card..
As for costs.. time taken restoring to server – well.. actually going out and getting another or building as you don’t have a backup server! from tape..
Vs Switching all machines pointing at one IP to another and bam.. up n running..
= cheaper than loosing work + time.
I understand when your talking 500TB etc.. but when were looking at 48TB its doable..
Seriously.. you’d have ONE copy ? and a copy on tape? One! ..
I use Chronosync that syncs the servers every other hour
Plus all setups and scripts sync to dropbox every 30 mins
This is not the whole array.. its a sync per live project.
When you talk of corruption.. what have you seen? 16TB arrays? 48 ? syncing the whole thing ?
Never had it on ours.
Never been able to run ADU on external raids.. well atto hba ones.. always chucks an error..
