Backup secured.
A little while back I made a post that I discovered my setup was not so solid and I started working on redundancy , took a little while but I got most of it sorted, the only thing left over was sorting out the os drive backup I was more or less ready for it but I was all out of disk slots so I would need to do something else, at the time I sort of left all that behind and moved on until recently I started looking into it again.
Pic of the server with the USB drive plugged in the back on a non slip mat thing for added safety 🤣
I really wanted something that would be super plug and play so If the os drive craps out I have a ready drive with the backup I put in and start the server like nothing happened.
I was looking into it and I settled on getting an enclosure but then I realized I would need a more fancy one to support the SAS drives the server uses... well the cheapest is 100 bucks just for a dang shell...
Well I was not feeling that I pay a 100 and don't even have a super elegant solution maybe can be a bit cheaper if I get something that would go in a pcie slot inside the server but I did not really want to bother with that either.
I just looked through some stuff and dug up an older 2 TB external drive it is just SATA but it should be fine for this new approach I went with instead.
So what I did was I made it so this drive can be both a boot disk with a recovery tool and also store backups of the OS, every 15 days it adds any changes to the backup and if my os drive fails, I just put in a fresh one boot from the external drive into the tool and copy the backup onto the fresh drive and boot.
I also included it in my webdash and it's smart drive status ( PASSED that can tell you if a drive is having issues and is likely to crap out)
Not nearly as seamless and elegant as I would have liked but at least I now I have a full backup system and I was able to use stuff I already own without spending more money, and with the wild increase in prices for lots of computer stuff that is for the best 🤣
Ironically as I make this post, I got another drive flashing that is part of the raid, it is not dead but the SMART software is not feeling good about it's future, it is not a big deal and the system is made to handle such a failure, anyway I guess I will go replace the drive... I mean I did but used SAS drives but I am fine with that still a lot cheaper to replace and not the biggest headache with a server like this.
My inleo subs can have something like 1080 version with sounds included made! and much more for only 5 HBD!

@bitcoinman's bits of wisdom
- Invest only what you can afford to lose and be mindful of the potential risks.
- Unless you can accept delivery stay away from futures and stick to physical.
- Leverage is a great tool for losing money fast.
- Numismatics for the lows stick to smart stacking baby.

Hello... For an amature, looking to go into mining, what machines would you advise please.
Well I am not into mining , I did before, many cryptos you need to buy expensive ASIC and join pool, some cryptos still use GPU mining, overall it is fairly unprofitable, can look into myst, you do not need to have crazy hardware to run the node basically like a blockchain VPN service use my referral if you wanna help a brother out 🤣 https://mystnodes.co/?referral_code=51Yf21N2Ppz4KOE16f3SF5oMo0ZUt9OMDjZv001x
