My current project is called Indie Archive and it looks a lot like that bottom pic.
Seven copies across four machines. Three copies with version history.
Also hourly file integrity checks using checksum.
Implemented with rsync and rsnapshot.
@hairylarry Sounds interesting, in both name and concept. What's the target use case for this?
It's designed for Indie Producers, like myself, to store projects they really don't ever want to lose, like albums, videos, last year's blog posts, a novel or other writings, photos, etc.
Backups first, backup everything at least daily, automatically.
Archival storage, next, For more redundancy, 7 drives on 4 systems in 3 locations with file integrity checks for completed projects or milestones of works in progress. Files added to archival storage manually.
@hairylarry Very thorough. Impressive!
It's three or four shell scripts. Probably less that 20 lines total.
The hard part was learning how to use rsync, rsnapshot, and ssh to get the desired results.
The second hard part is the installation document. It's a hardware and software project with three systems each slightly different and I am not assuming computer expertise for the installer. I'm on the second pass on the install documents, notes.txt - overview and install.txt - actual commands. It's Been fun!
