Data storage vs backup storage

my 18tb exos drive acting as a backup for my other 18tb exos drive is looking at you with disappointment right now.

im sure that thing regularly makes it on to the highway.

Definitely not moving any faster than 20mph with those wheels and suspension setup. Not to mention it would probably topple at about 15mph.

you forgot my other 18tb exos drive which is also looking at you in displeasure due to the fact that you do not have a proper backup of your data.

oh good, this one is mirrored, perfect.

Yeah i have some very manual backups setup, rsync and task scripting go brrr.

I don't need anything more complicated in my life frankly.

it's a systemd unit on my side, so i've got logging and potential to implement reporting if i desired, but frankly it's not worth the effort, i just check to see if the drives have roughly the same data on them every so often, because rsync is handling the rest for me, as well as systemd.

I should probably set up proper smart reporting, but i'm lazy and don't want to setup and email server lol.

i've considered setting it up, but i don't think smartd supports pushover so meh.
