@GNSteve don't use a VM, rather run a docker image like adriel/h265ize from docker hub. Just keep it running there, it will also move your files to a different folder if required. Because it's a docker image, you don't need to dedicate memory per container, you can also spin up multiple docker images for different folders if they're not all in the same root folder (image I recommended preserves file structure). I suggest using kitematic if you need an easier GUI.

Hey Steve, Network Engineer here, As long as you have a good retention plan, you can recover from almost anything. Biggest things to consider 1. The main goal of RAID is redundancy, its not so much to protect data, rather its to protect the server and prevent a catastrophic failure that cost you a ton of work to repair, for a company like yours I usually use Raid 5, 6, or 10. Raid 6 if availability is the main concern, 10 is like 6 but has some data savings, usually use that in a SAN environment 2. Your backup solution should avoid using UNC file paths, at least one of your backups should use an agent or tunneling system to copy files, and should come with an aggressive retention policy this is mostly for security, as many crypto attacks can write to UNC file path backups, have seen too many companies that thought their old Symantec was fine, then it wasn't and I had to tell them their only option was to pay the ransom or pay to have a third party attempt decryption. Another key reason for this, is that often crypto payloads are on delay, or a hacker who already has compromised your network. Will figure out what type of backup you are using and attempt to circumvent it before they release the payload and encrypt your data. That's where your retention policy is important, if you can narrow down when they got access, you can restore back to the earliest point before they gained entry, provided you have a restore that is close to that timeframe. Thanks again for the content, always appreciate your vids

Raid 5 has been NOT recommended for some time now on physical disks. The issue is that whenever one disk fails, recovering requires a lot of activity from the other disks in a RAID5 array, and likelyhood of another failure goes up precisely because of that, right after you had already one disk failing. So RAID5 in a way defeats the design purpose of RAID 5 in the first place, can render the entire array unrecoverable. Cost of full redundancy is a lot lower nowadays, so RAID 10 is a much safer and recommended choice over RAID 5.

your backup strategy/plan is fairly solid. i do local, remote (to another property we own/lease via VPN) and remote (cloud with infinite version history). the intention is that unless everything has proverbially hit the fan or you need something that was versions earlier, the cloud backup is your last resort as you have the least control over it and the most restricted access. if you have to you can pickup your remote solution and move it to the office to get up and running while you restore over 10+gbit. being linux/unix to linux, a cron job to rsync from the office to home is likely the simplest solution, if you dont want to setup a site to site vpn between them you can rsync over SSH (though im not sure if synology supports that), but you need to open your remote end SSH port (use a non standard port number (nat port forwarding from 61834 to 22 for example) and restrict access by IP if you can (either at the port forwarding or OS level)).

@GNSteve I'm not the smartest at this but you could set up a handbrake docker container then setup up a custom preset in handbrake then you ad that to the docker containers parameters `Automatic Video Converter Preset` and set the `Watch Directory` and `Output Directory` for the the container, to use for auto converting video. Then if someone else knows more about scripting on unraid you might be able to move files into the auto convert watch folder to have them proccesed, and just so you know if you go to unraids web gui > setting > CPU Pinning, you set handbrake to only have acces to xx amount of cores (eg. core 3,4,5,6 of 8 cores) so it doesn't hog all your cpu power. Core 1 and its hyperthread or smt are what unraid uses so its usually best not to assign to much to that. if you didn't do any scripting you could use krusader (another docker container, just be careful with this its direct file access on the server but you can set a VNC_PASSWORD in the container) to move the files to the watch directory manually it will be a lot quicker to move files between directory's this way that over the network

I know that the initial cost is quite high, but get yourself at least a LTO-7 SAS (or Thunderbolt if you want to use YoYotta and a Mac) to back up your stuff. For the amount of data that you'll be backing up, it's actually not going to be too bad for you. I have LTO-8 at home now and ten 12 TB tapes (so I can back up to 120 TB of data, which I will pre-compress using 7-zip) and it's already been immensely helpful to me. If you want to make it as simple for yourself as possible, get yourself a LTO-8 Thunderbolt tape backup drive and you can just write two copies of each tape that you backup -- where you can keep one set of tapes at your house, so that like you said, if something happens or fails, you can just run home and grab the tape. I STRONGLY recommend that.

You pre-compress using 7zip? For compressed writing to tape I would always recommend a .tar.gz
@ewenchan12394 жыл бұрын
Johannes "Fountain" Micha Yup. 7-zip, using the LZMA2 compression algorithm, with the maximum compression level (cf. sevenzip.osdn.jp/chm/cmdline/switches/method.htm), produces the smallest archive file, and the fact that it supports upto 32 threads by default, whereas, I don’t think tar nor gzip supports that. The largest, single 7-zip file that I have written to my tape is 4.4 TB, compressed using those settings. You can test it yourself in terms of time and resulting size (e.g. compression ratio). (And of course, compression ratio/size, and speed depends significantly on the type of files you’re compressing.) I have found that rather than relying on the tape drive to compress the files for me, it is better and faster overall for me to pre-compress my files using 7-zip prior to writing to tape. It’s unfortunate that only Bzip2 supports multithreaded compression and decompression, but Bzip2 also has the limitation that it creates a bz2 file for every file you’re compressing, so that’s not very useful/practical, generally speaking.
@DigitalMoonlight4 жыл бұрын
@@ewenchan1239 You can group the files by taring them and compressing with bz2 using tar. Not really a practical solution except in extremely memory starved systems where you need more compression than gzip but don't have the memory for lzma based solutions like 7zip and xz. lzma decompresses much faster than bz2 and I think that greatly outweighs compression time since I'd rather a smaller backup that compresses slower but doesn't sacrifice decompression time too much. If you are looking for a tar based format as a replacement for 7zip files (not really sure if there's a practical difference when using tape) you can always try using the xz or lzma compression flags with tar. I hope you and any other readers find this info mildly interesting or informative.
@ewenchan12394 жыл бұрын
@@DigitalMoonlight So my thought process when selecting the archive format, and the compression algorithm was I wanted something that will compress quickly, and result in the smallest file size since I was writing to tape. The idea behind the small file size/high compression ratio is so that when the archive is written to tape, it won't take a long, nor take up so much space on the tape, per tape, since I am also writing two copies each. As far as memory is concerned, I wasn't really worried because my compute nodes each has 128 GB of RAM and my headnode has 64 GB of RAM, and I think that the node that's writing the data to tape has at least 32 GB of RAM. (My four compute nodes has a total of 512 GB of RAM between them, and as such, I wasn't really worried about that.) The downside with straight 7-zip is that it doesn't preserve the metadata properties about the file (ownership and date/timestamps, but they tell you how to do that on the 7-zip command line website -- the command that you will need to use if that's what you want to do (e.g. backup a directory). It is somewhat unfortunate that 7-zip decompression doesn't appear to be multithreaded like the compression is, but oh well. And given that LZMA decompression is faster than bz2, and in my experience, most of the time, I can only decompress at around 30 MB/s or so, so...it's not terribly fast for that. But then again, if I am pulling a 4.4 TB 7-zip file from tape, that takes a while, and then having to unpack it also takes a while, so my "normal" turnaround time for a data retrieval request is 2 days and that's just limited by transfers speeds (since even though LTO-8, on paper, is spec'd to a maximum of 300 MB/s, even when writing to a NFSoRDMA RAID0 array, in practice, it's closer to 200-270-ish MB/s). I'm open to ideas on how to achieve BOTH objectives: speed AND size. But if I had to sacrifice something, I would much rather sacrifice speed rather than size.
@DigitalMoonlight4 жыл бұрын
@@ewenchan1239 I did a little bit of quick research and it looks like using tar with pixz might fit the bill. Pixz does parallel compression and decompression and the compression ratio should be comparable to 7zip since xz is based on lzma. Might be worth doing some bench marks to see if you get appreciable improvement. Of course this assumes you're running *nix, though I don't see why Cygwin or WSL wouldn't work as well for Windows. I also couldn't find up to date info if they added parallel decompression to the official branch of xzutils but I did see some posts mentioning if the file was compressed with multithread it will decompress with multithread.

Hey Steve, it maybe a good idea to put that server on it's side, so that the hard drives are vertical. In the last 30 years I have managed over 1000 servers for a myriad of companies, and I can guarantee you that when a drive starts failing, it will at least warn you nicely if it's mounted vertically, but if it's horizontal, you will experience a different type of heart attack... more pronounced. The main reason is the wobbling the platters start doing when the bearings start wearing, and specially in a box filled with drives, that causes periodic vibration resonance that can kill several drives at once.

I have run a Managed Service backup system for over 8 years. I always tell people at least 3 copies of you data. Production, backups(offsite) and replication. Also both raid and snapshots are not backup. Raid protects from simply hard drive failure. Snapshots can protect data, however the longer you keep a snapshot the more overhead io you have on the array and only protects you if the array is functional. Sounds like you have a good plan.

When doing the book on back up, there is so much options. So, you would work off say 1tb drive, you would have 2 tb live backup. So you have a copy and you have a time copy. So a daily back up and a weekly. You then take a daily every 2 days to a caddy drive 1tb which was then taken off site. A second was also made which was kept on site in a waterproof and fireproof safe. Zoned back ups were also on the group, say office was one, accounts the other, and a data (server) a copy was hidden on all computers from the group. So if the server went down or a workstation, you could pull data locally., If there was a issue there, the. You pull from the server, if there was a issue there you pulled from the backup on site. And if there was a issue then you pulled from off site. I remember having set up the backup code line, and a auto burn DVD. A dvd would be burnt at the end of day of the business data. The instruction was remove the disc and replace the disc. There was a spindle sat for a age. Then caddies came along due to size issues. It was a long time till most businesses got high speed to make use of networks. And on site meant two things. Back up online is always a pain due to the overhead and use, so it's a night run. I still use on and off-site backup even with hard data. I'm surprised you didn't have a 4u rather than that little box. Mine which I have now gone to two from 4. Holds 19 drives four are hot swaps. It fits a standard ATX and parts so building price is down to the drives themselves. It is full air filtered. Has a lock and has a fire rating and bomb blast rating. It's good to have two, and you keep one off, and turn it on to synchronise. So it has a copy. This is great if you want and requirements are 0 down time. And zero loss. Now.... NAS is not backup. Often used as live it is a high risk. Take a look at SAN. If you do SANS. Then it works differently. As you have your network, you have off site network and you certificate all devices. You then split data to each off site so that the data is useless and encrypted. You can keep half, which obviously reduce size for you. But you have to keep the keys else where. And you load balancing the entire system as a SAN and following backup. I'm.sure we wrote the directives on this which are detailed notes on "how to" and policy and procedures. VT is a bit different. I have five backups and no data is deleted until a set time from first point. So say, you have 100g drives recording. There would be 20 drives. They would be wiped before they are next used. Giving 20 days or events AS prime backup. The. Records were then loaded to a drive and not raided to another (sync) That's raw data. The edits were done and stored else where. Final was then done. We then kept the pre edit but not raw. Then The final was kept in reduction. Edit copy was kept as a temp. You just do a date scan and pull folders over or file when they get older. *** Back ups fail or are corrupt *** I've pulled from a back up a copy of corrupt data. The system can also write corrupt data. Always check validity of data. (Not file check) I've had files check, but they were damaged on playback. Buy everything twice... Is a fair rule. Do it again to make sure... Test all systems and fake break and see how life goes on.

If it’s still the asrock x470d4u with the R5 3600 you can use the old fx 8350 air cooler and it will work perfectly. Running that with R7 3700x on mine for a home server

I would love to see someone go crazy building a super backblaze storage pod with even more storage than the stock design. With your backup policy you have no need for that though.

Any chance you played with VMs before getting it all setup for work? Curious how this setup would do running a Windows gaming VM and a Linux daily user, on top of light server duty

You're probably better off on the Level1Techs forum. If I remember correctly there were links to the applicable forum threads in the descriptions of the original video's. Unraid with an AMD GPU should be relatively straightforward for VM's though. Getting ZFS to work with Unraid was the most complicated part.

"Cooler" as in fan? Or heatsink and fan??? Because if just fan and since this is a server go with Delta they have a fan list longer than my Christmas list from 7. Should find one that meets your size requirements.

Raid 1 is always nice, could look to buy a VXrail on Ebay or a VNX or VNXE (active passive). Can find them pretty cheap. To bad you cannot get in to SRDF or other products like this. I would love to see content on Big data arrays.

I like these videos :) Anyway. year later and I bet the Synology is still there :D Ramote Backup plans almost never materialize :D There is a local backup version of rdiff/rsync that allows you to bring a drive back and forth for semi-local. It is good for these as internet is slow and often in use.

ZFS will use as much RAM as it can get it's hands on usually, but not always. So, if you install your RAM and wonder why it still seems like there is 90% utilization, it's because of how ZFS treats RAM.

You should consider a tape drive, dump everything to tape and archive for long-term doesn't use electricity and you can keep everything you're actively using stored in the server. Really just stick a sas controller/hba into a computer and get yourself a drive, LTO 7 M8 or LTO 8 should be plenty good for your needs it also helps with any potential disaster you can keep more tapes offsite as well have a drive at home to move a lot of data back and forth.

ZFS sucks up all available memory. The memory probably isn't 'running low'. Though if you are running VM's then yes, the more memory you have the better off you are. 32GB sticks are fun :-) ... 64GB in a mini-itx two-dimm-slot motherboard or 128GB in a normal 4-slot motherboard. Normal or EUDIMMs. It just works (on AMD). I forgot whether you had set this up on Linux or Windows. If on Linux, though, you probably just aren't used to understanding how its memory management works. For dust... machines rooms aren't supposed to be dusty! I recommend buying an air purifier for your machine room (Winnix is a good brand). It can just be left turned on in low or sleep mode, since its a tiny room (if it has a PlasmaWave option, turn that off. The HEPA and carbon filter is plenty good enough). Better that then having hard drives have to filter the dust out. Those case dust filters don't really work very well in terms of the types of dust that HDDs are vulnerable to. I universally use external air purifiers for the room rather than dust filters in the cases, it's just easier to deal with. Another off-site option is to use a service, like BackBlaze. You are quickly going to find yourself with a multiplication of physical hard drives if you try to do the off-sites yourself, particularly if you want a setup that actually stays relevant and operational over years. For example, even if your off-site is RAIDed, if it just has a single logical copy of the data and it dies, resynchronizing from your masters over the internet can literally take forever... MONTHS or worse. Even with RAID, the chances of an off-site going poof and requiring a full resync are pretty high. For my personal storage, which isn't nearly as much as what you guys are trying to backup, I keep two copies at each off-site (two off-sites + the master location... 5 copies of the data total). Each copy is non-redundant and if it fails I replace the dead drive, reformat, and make a fresh copy from the other half. That way I am never faced with the prospect of having to re-synchronize over the internet. Since I'm not using redundancy for each individual copy putting them on the biggest possible drives keeps the drive count fairly low while still keeping the backups relevant and maintainable. For your purposes, a little redundancy for each copy is probably still appropriate, but don't go overboard. Copies x redundancy = too many physical drives and the law of statistics dictates that the failures will start to drive you crazy. -Matt

to automate the backups, you probably won't need to use cron, you can do that with systemd now. Site with info on service files: www.devdungeon.com/content/creating-systemd-service-files How to set up timers: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers I'd suggest just setting up a custom script that uses rsync, making that executable and using the above info to automate it. Digital ocean has some good info here: www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-rsync-to-sync-local-and-remote-directories-on-a-vps
