Background It has been 1.5 years since i ditched my Drobo. It broke during the beginning of the pandemic. A year and more has passed. Freenas Its rock stable. At one point, I had 100+ days of zero reboot. I just feel at times, it’s under-utilised. Don’t get me wrong, it is great for being… Continue reading A year with FreeNAS and Unraid

A NAS is not a backup

I’ve ditched Drobo

Try http://allwaysync.com/, seems to work better.
