A Home NAS and Backup Solution
Posted in General, Technology on May 18th, 2009 by darcusb – Comments OffSo I’ve for awhile now been thinking I need to get more serious about a storage and backup solution for my personal and household data. After casually looking around at alternatives, I finally decide on a solution. I effectively took this information about hardware, with this and this information about using OpenSolaris and ZFS for software, and now have 1 TB of mirrored networked storage (and automated snapshots when I get to it), all for less than $500.
It was far more of a PITA getting OpenSolaris running as I wanted than I’d hoped, but I think the end product is both better and cheaper than the commercial alternatives.
