Notes#

In addition to the internal hard drive, I have a NAS enclosure that contains 8x22 TB Enterprise HDDs. The NAS enclosure I use is Syba 8-bay hot swappable 2.5" 3.5" SATA non-RAID external USB 3.0.

I use the NAS for digital archiving. It runs the following services:

• ArchiveBox
• Jellyfin
• qBittorrent in a dedicated thick VNET jail over ProtonVPN/WireGuard

For all the machines from which I want to backup data, each machine runs borgmatic to backup data to borgbackup repositories located on the NAS.

The 8x22 TB Enterprise HDDs comprise a 176 TB ZFS pool. I have separate ZFS datasets for various categories of data.
