F'ing NAS took a dump

This is why I backup to another RAID every night. Mind you I'm only backing up about 350Gig across all the machines.

"Crashplan is not available in your area" ?? WTF ???

Anyway, I use BackBlaze which costs $5 per month for unlimited storage

in the process of sorting a return out to the supplier

OK, just to twist the knife a little, why were you returning the drive to the supplier? You didn't have a spare on-hand? You didn't immediately buy a replacement when the first one died? You basically lost everything through trying to save £80.

I don't understand people who only backup locally, with all the cheap cloud storage you should back up to one of those. I use googe drive 100GB is just over a quid a month, terabyte is 6 quid a month.

Maybe the disk isn't dead, possibly just the board is dead which means you can still get your data, just need to buy a new board and you should be ok

Security (or fear of lack thereof) innit.

With a 1Mbps upload - it would take several days to backup a significant amount of data. I do know two companies that will come on site, take a copy on a disk and use that as the initial upload. Thereafter its just changes.

Quite a few will do that but it tends to cost a bit.

The cloud is OK for backing up essentials but I wouldn't want to put terabytes of stuff up there unless I had gigabit connection speeds or similar. It will come in time.

And I don't understand why people put so much trust in Google.

Or any other Yank company come to that.

My photos are important to me and my family. Their value to anyone else is zero....
