[QUOTE="b.life, post: 2393179, member: 77431"] Good Evening, To be honest with you no two solution are the same, each persons requirements are going to be different as such I would recommend you to look at others and customize it for your requirements this way you will have total control and full understanding of the system. Said that I do have some questions before we can comeup with a solution. Technical Section 1. How often does the Critical/Personal Data change? 2. How often do you access the Critial/Personal data? 3. Regarding the photos do you plan/already run a service(Lychee/Piwigo/etc) to access them? 4. Do you have any plans regarding data integrity verification? (Data stored on disks will degrade overtime so the disks has to be replaced or data refreshed) Personal Section 1. Other than you, will there be anyone else responsible for maintaining the backup? 2. Other than you, Is there anyone else who you turst with personal info(critical or otherwise) who is also computer literate enough to maintain/recover/access the backup system? Few points that I have picked up over the years are. 1. Critical data needs to be backed up daily(incremental), and weekly full backup 2. Non critical data gets backed up every week(incremental) and monthly full backup From your current setup(I assumed you do have a NAS) For Tire 1: It is generally recommended to create a new server(NAS) for first layer of backup. Reason being if your current Active storage does down(motherboard,ram,psu,etc) then your tire 1 also goes down. So it is recommended to create a cheap nas(like a low power cpu/mb/psu) with lots of HDD For Tire 2: Burnable media is nice but I want to remaind you that technology changes(DVD drives are almost gone in less then 15 years i think) the storage medium which you choose must be future proof, meaning you should be able to access the data even if the current access mechanism(CD Drive, DVD Drive, Blueray Drive) becomes obsolete. For Cloud: If your ISP provides one take it, they are your first point of contact for internet and you can easly reach them, than the ones provided by MNC companies. I would suggest you to strongly consider keeping your critical/personal date in an encrypted format in the cloud. Reason being they will handle the harddisk failure, technology change etc so you dont need to worry about them. Regards Edit 1: Spelling correction [/QUOTE]
