Backup Advice Again :)

Post by cpcnw »

Hi All,

I have N4F on a CF and 2 x 3TB Discs for data which I will setup in RAID1

I have a 3rd 3TB disc I want to use as incremental backup over 7 days [currently just over 1TB of data total]

I am bound to be asked "Can you restore a file I deleted from last Wednesday?" so need a fairly easy way to do
individual file restores?

Is this too much to ask?

TIA

If it is as simple as restore deleted file enable the recycle bin. I think its under the share setup.

Snapshots are even better.
11.2-RELEASE-p3 | ZFS Mirror - 2 x 8TB WD Red | 28GB ECC Ram
HP ML10v2 x64-embedded on Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz

Extra memory so I can host a couple VMs
1) Unifi Controller on Ubuntu
2) Librenms on Ubuntu
