Data Recovery PTSD: Prep for 45 Drives Offsite Backup

Posted by wendell on

It may have caused him nightmares, but Wendell is a man of action! To defeat the loss of data, or at the very least prevent it for Linus, poor guy almost lost a lot of data; Wendell has teamed up with 45 Drives to create an offsite storage server to act as a back up site for his friends!

Having 30 14tb drives, in a single Q30 chassis Storinator running ZFS is cool. But going underground into a cellar to set it up is even cooler! Literally, it'll be cooler and save on AC cost.
