harald_im_netz@feddit.de 3 months agoI have an HDD with… I think 4 TB laying around. What would be the best option? To just plug it into the server and leave it there?

Sure, but the point of an offline backup is to disconnect it when not in use, rendering it immune to ransomware, accidental deletions, lightning strikes etc. Plug in every week or whatever, do your backup, disconnect, sleep easy. I use an external usb hdd caddy (note that one needs a firmware update to work with bigger disks)
