Comment on NAS decision paralysis

If you care about your data, the second thing to demand is ECC. That tends to narrow all the trash out of the choices, so it’ll be easier.
The first thing is backups. The first thing is always backups. With checksums. Preferably encrypted and at rest.

I need to get more serious with backups. I read a lot about 4-3-1 and 2-2-1 but not sure i get it all. I need to find something that works with my truenas scale setup.

TrueNAS supports cloud backups on a schedule to Backblaze; easy to setup, failure alerts. Then with Syncthing or the like you can have a 2nd copy of data on another computer.
I keep anything of importance replicated to most of my devices all the time (photographs are on laptop, server, phone, documents on all three and a media machine encrypted with version history). Then the server does snapshots for easy data recovery back in time, and a cloud backup nightly to Backblaze for off-site-ness.

I too have syncthing replicating across 3 machines but its only usefull if you loose one machine. Recovery of old versions of docs is tricky. Syncthing does save versions but hunting fo old versions of files in hidden folders isn’t great. It would be great if you could browse file history via browser or the file manager, similar to what happens on Sharepoint.
