my name is Armand and I have several small home built servers, preferring many baskets for the data eggs.
current hardware is desktop, used/salvaged/or refurb with new HDDs one i3, four are i5
I use XigmaNAS [FKA NAS4Free, FKA freenas-7 fork] and ZFS as it is way hard for me to loose the data.
one mirror VD per pool.
the most important data saved to most all of them, call it 4/6 pools. and off prem. as well.
my desktop backed up MWF to servers named mon wed fri. important stuff after each use.
started with NSLU2(s) and moved on to FreeNAS-6. about 25 years ago [oops more like 15]
still a noob as other hobbies got in the way and the stuff, kept very simple, just worked!
