I have 120TB in a dell T630 at a condo i rent on the other side of the state… I replicate some Truenas volumes and proxmox backups to over VPN…an “in case the house burns down” kind of thing…
Yeah, I’ve considered doing that, but most of my media is static and doesn’t change and, with my upload speeds, would take literal days to sync. So I just have a set of HDDs that I keep across the state. I’ll loose some if everything fails, but at least I’ll have most of it.
I brought the two into the same room for the initial sync…then drove the T630 to the condo and hooked up, and it’s all incremental updates over the 1G VPN. :)
Yeah, I have 40Mbps uploads at my house, that’s the best I can get. I create anywhere from 100GB to 3TB of footage per week. On the high end, it’d take an entire week to sync, sucking up all of my upload bandwidth for that time, meaning I wouldn’t even be able to upload the videos I create to YouTube/PeerTube in a reasonable amount of time. When I get faster upload speeds I’ll definitely have to build a remote NAS for closer to real time backups.
OOhh ouch, that sucks ass… If I didn’t have Gigabit synchronous at the source there is no way I would even attempt replciation…I’d be carrying spare drives with me every time I go down to visit my grandson. ;-)

That’s exactly my plan haha, and yeah, it sucks. Thanks Comcast.
