I've decided to reproduce what I have on my Windows Plex box where the Plex libraries and backup folders are copied overnight to duplicate drives. The backup folders will be moved to the Pi box. If the whole lot blows up I'm stuffed, but it's far more likely that a single drive will fail. I use robocopy on windows and an rsync cron job on Raspbian should be pretty similar.<br /> <br /> The actual physical build is always more fiddly and troublesome than anticipated. I could just connect everything up and hide it under a desk, but then I thought I could stick it on a board. Then I found a nice biscuit tin. That's when I discovered that none of the cables were as flexible and forgiving as I'd hoped and the tin need ventilating which means putting grommets onto holes and the only ones I have left are the sealed type. Then how to mount the drives etc. etc. <br /> <br /> But almost done. I'll stick a picture up when I've finished.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42603.60&return_msg=42603.60" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42603.60"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42603_61"></a><div class="message" id="message_42603_61"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time"> 7 May 2020 16:09</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 7 May 2020 17:18"></span></span> <span class="message_count">61 of 76</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42603.61">42603.61</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42603.59">42603.59</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Have you had a look at Glimpse?
