Upgrading my DIY Raspberry Pi NAS with a new SBC...
Today I'm upgrading my home NAS/media server. It's powered by a new single board computer - the Zimaboard 432. This video covers the build and how it turned out! #zimaboard #diy #nas

*Rsync is superior to RAID in at least two ways; firstly there is less wear on the drives and secondly this system presents users the opportunity to recover content deleted from the source drive, from the destination drive, within the user-set window of time. It does however require more work than RAID to get back up and running again if the source drive dies.*

Rsync backup schedule:
configure: crontab -e
add:
0 22 * * 6 rsync -rvh --progress /DATA/Disk1/ /DATA/Storage1 # weekly backup
