What are the best practices for a small scale business Centos7 samba server vm (5 users, ~15GB, Win10 Clients, files/lightweight pos/quickbooks)?
I tested New Relic's free server monitoring, although it broke after just one day reporting the servers are offline.
How would you setup basic monitoring of file-system health, free space, security updates not applied, 20% of files deleted,...? What else do you do or recommend?
Local Backup:
7z archive of changed files every hour, kept for a rolling 2w.
7z rolling archives named each day of the month
7z rolling archives named each month
Daily mirror of files to separate PC, daily 1w full backups, 3m full backups
As I type this all out ZFS and scrubs would be great but does that make more sense?
