Versioning is a feature completely separate from raid or dual nas or whatever else you do. Your example of the house burning down is exactly why I questioned the dual nas… Both nas will be toast.

So please, tell me again why you need 2 nas for versioning? Maybe you’re doing some goofy hack, then ok. That’s still silly. Just do proper versioning. If you’re coding, just use git. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

I’m stunned that you are unfamiliar with the versioning feature of backups. In my bubble this has been best practice since Apple came along with the Time Machine, but really we tried that even before with rsync, albeit only with limited success.

This is different from git because this takes care about all files and configurations, and it does so automatically. Furthermore it also includes rules when to thin out and discard old versions, because space remains an issue.

Git is not a backup tool. It’s a versioning tool, best user for text files.

  Your condescension is matched only by your reading comprehension. I do not know what your requirements are. You said coding and alluded versioning, so I tossed out git. Enjoy your tech debt. I hope it serves you well and supports your ego for many years.
