Designing a backup strategy involves planning how to protect data effectively.
Designing a backup strategy involves planning how to protect data effectively.
I’ve reviewed the articles you mentioned. For your goal of setting up a reliable backup system across multiple PCs and laptops, here are some key points:
- Adopt the 3-2-1 rule or even 3-2-2 for better protection.
- Ensure at least one immutable backup exists—your current plan already covers this with the TrueNas server.
- Use cloud storage (like Google Drive) and a NAS for synchronization.
- For an immutable cloud state, consider enabling write-once storage or using services that support versioning.
- To automate NAS backups, configure your NAS to sync regularly and set up alerts for failed syncs.
Your approach seems solid; just double-check the immutability settings on the cloud provider and verify that your NAS is configured correctly.
I rely on UrBackup for my local backups, offering options like image copies or selective file/folder storage. You might find it useful to explore those features. https://www.urbackup.org/
