I wanted to get some input from members here on backup strategy for important data. I have about 20TB on my single unraid server, which is mostly tv, movies and music. For now, this data is outside the scope of what I want to backup because it is not that important and so large that it would kill my upload and take forever.
I have a few machines that I would like to backup in full:
Win7 desktop, win7 laptop, and a family member's off site Win7 laptop, and selected folders from unraid (data/docs only)
ESXi Host1 that runs unraid, madsonic, plex server, web servers, virtual HTPCs (x2), Win7, and some others.
ESXi Host2 that runs openvpn, unifi controller, and win server 2012.
I started implementing the free version of crashplan installed on the win server 2012 to easily backup my desktop and the remote laptop. But this falls apart if my house burns down (seems unlikely, but when was the last time someone wasn't suprised when their house burned down?)
Then I thought about backing up machines to my local crashplan, and then signing just that one computer up for crashplan cloud backup (thereby backing up my other backups). The 4 year price for 1 pc is $190 and the 4 year price for family is $430.
Also in consideration here are my virtual machines. I'm thinking of using Veeam here and including these in the crashplan backup. I've heard good things about Veeam.
So just interested to see what you guys do for backups!
Thanks!
