I've been running it on my home media and file server ever since Microsoft removed Drive Extender from Windows Home Server 2011.

StableBit's DrivePool software works great for automatic redundant storage applications like this. That was step 1 after the first backup completed I do a drive image backup-so I can restore to hardware rather than just data files-and I've actually tested it twice. I'll also add, there IS NO backup until you've actually tested the ability to restore. Not like we'll be using again quickly anyway. If we have a house disaster, only one of the drives is needed to restore our data, and media be damned. A simple second drive copying over the differential data is enough. Backing up that much truly unimportant data seemed dumb, until I lost it. The-now 2 TB-media, is where I had the issue. I also back up ONLY the backups to an offsite storage. Everyone in the house knows, if we have to evacuate for fire or storm, grab the backup drive and run. Since this is personal and not business, I limit the desire to go full-tilt toward that kind of solution.

I keep weeklies, but overwrite the oldest daily every 2 days. I currently use Acronis for the server nightly, and also run a daily noon backup using Server 2012 R2's WindowsBackup. At least with the separate backups you stand a fighting chance against cryptoviruses and other bad things.Very good point.

If you were running them mirrored (RAID1) or even manually-mirrored (Robocopy), if the data is corrupt, you'll have two bad backups. That way you'll have TWO copies from different times. Since you have two drives, I'd suggest rotating your backups. One of our server's backup file is only 12% of the original file size on the server, bringing a 258GB data image down to 30GB). Depending on your data, 7zip can do wonders, but it can be slow to compress. I use it around the office for user data and as secondary backup systems to our primary backup of our servers. If you want it'll just flat-copy them without any archive/compression.

It's free and stores archives in either ZIP or 7zip formats (no proprietary software needed to get to your data) and will do incremental/differential backups automatically. I instead pulled from a day last week when we knew it worked, restored it, and it worked fine.Īlso, take a look at Cobian Backup. The last backup (last night) had the corrupted profile. At least with the separate backups you stand a fighting chance against cryptoviruses and other bad things.Ĭase in point: Today one of my user's Dragon NaturallySpeaking installs went corrupt.
