It's A Digital Disease!

I know. It seems pretty straight forward: 3 copies of the original file; 2 different storage devices for the data; 1 cache moved off site

The snag that I'm hitting is the 2nd verse.

Does that rule mean i have to keep my copies across 2 different types of storage devices? (Ex. Using an external SSD, and using Blu-Ray CDs)

Or does it mean I can use the same device type, but i need 2 of them. (Ex. Having 2 external SSDs)

Hey guys, have been in a dilemma about which one to go for. I have been wanting to get the 14tb version. My use case is to store many files and photographs and videos for backup, as a photographer. It’s not for full time use, which one should I go for and which is more reliable one.

Archive has the very first page saved, but all the following pages are missing. Did anyone here save this before it went down? It had a lot of great recipes

Found this 4 port SAS HBA on eBay Germany, shipping free from China: https://www.ebay.de/itm/404473456286

After finding this, I found some other sellers, all from China, selling these for similar but slightly more expensive prices (20-30€)

Should I stay away from them, or are they a viable option to use in a diy home server?

It's a strange question, I know. Why would someone want to find a page that they knew didn't exist? Right?

But the "not found" page for web sites can occasionally change, and earlier versions might have links to help a fat-fingered visitor get to the info they were looking for.

I doubt that it's even possible, but thought I'd ask anyway. This subreddit seems to be full of clever folks who might have figured out a way.

i am a beginner to data hoarding (i currently have 2 22T hardrives that i have switch between them a single using SATA to usb c), but there are some files/folders that i do not want anyone to access if they had access to the hard rive (many people will use my hording drive), is there a way to do this? i remember there is way using CMD but am not sure if it is good or if the decryption will disappear if the hard drive was installed to another PC/android device.

I know HTTrack which downloads an entire website plus subpages as html.

But I'd like to have them as markdown or text files.

Does anyone know of a free software that can do that?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am looking for new drives for my NAS and amazon currently has ST12000DM0007 certified drives. What are your experiences with it? are they reliable?

Original Title: Got this 8TB QVO SSD for a great price, spent 16 hours doing some S.M.A.R.T tests and after after that Custaldiskinfo is only reporting 22h and 3GB written. Did someone sell a brand new drive or was the firmware altered before selling? (Got it "used" from Cex)

Hello,

I would like to hoard a local backup of Wikipedia.

I’ve read the Database Download page on Wikipedia but most tools seem outdated. XOWA images are from 2014. MzReader link no longer work.

What would be the best tool in 2025, if there is one, to browse a local backup of Wikipedia?

Thank you.

So... Just hopes this is not the wrong sub I know pretty darn well that microSD cards as long term storage are a bad idea, but i have a few questions about this very specific lineup of samsung cards.

Context: i have a Samsung Pro Plus 256GB microSD for 2 years now.

Questions: how long does a microSD card of this grade/class usually last with low usage? (Provided there would be no premature failure)

What "features" does this have that are not usually talked about (if anyone knows) like ECC?

Do you recommend Samsung microSD's or is there any better brand?

What is this particular microSD good for (device)?

How does one "care" for a microSD card?

And anything else i should know.

Ps. Why post here? Cause there is a lot of discussions about storage devices here.

Hi there, Is there a browser that downloads the webpages and everything they require to be viewed offline as you browse a webpage, and then when you visit that specific webpage URL again and you don’t have internet connection, the browser just shows you the offline version of the webpage that it archived when you previously visited the same webpage?

I have searched around and found many crawlers suggestions such as HTTPTrack , Heritrix, openWayback, singlefile etc, but I don’t want to archive entire websites, i only wish to crawl/download the current webpage i am using so i can visit it later aswell if internet goes out

Sorry I know extremely little about this stuff. I just bought a UGreen DXP2800 and have uploaded most of my files and access them using the UGreen client and site. Works great. My concern is that I do have some sensitive stuff and, in the process of doing part time work as a drone pilot, I've come in contact with concerns over companies like DJI where your data from Chinese consumer products can be shared with people you don't want to have it. Is my Ugreen NAS data private when I use their client app? Am I too paranoid?

Hello All,

I hope this would be an appropriate place for this post, but if not, I apologize in advance.

Currently I have about 20 TB in storage on an ZFS array having ~40TB of usage storage. Before I get into the details, I realize the setup isn't ideal and it was what I had at the time, but now I want to update and would like your 2 cents.

My pool is structured in two vdevs with the following setup:

1. 4 x 14TB Seagate Exos in raidz2
   1. I know this is inefficient, but I wanted double redundancy for whatever reason)
2. 6 x 4TB HGST in raidz2

I'm using a LSI SAS 9300-16I SAS to Sata HBA with 10/16 connections used and running Ubuntu server 22.04. I realize the OS may not be ideal, but it's what I knew and was comfortable with. My case is a desktop case that I'm added extra storage cages to and can hold 10 HDDs.

Overall I have used about half, but I'm worried about the 4TB drives and would like to swap them out for more 14TB drives that I now have. The issue is that I'm not sure the best way to upgrade the pool while retaining the data. Most of this data is not critical so I only had a local copy (mostly due to not wanting to spend on the backups). My first thought was that I need to destroy pool and rebuild. My plan was to copy everything to a Backblaze B2 bucket, destroy/rebuild and then redownload. However, this is taking forever to upload with 300/300 FIOS and I'm worried that the download would also take too long, possibly taking multiple rsync calls if the connection breaks or I need to restart my server.

I want to replace the the 6 x 4TB drives with 2 x 14TB drives and make one singular vdev (6 x 14TB raidz2). Which would take the number of HDDs in my case from 10 (maximum number I can fit currently) to 6 which would give me 4 extra slots in case I need to add a drive or replace anything while also increasing my pool size.

Does anyone have any obvious tips that I'm missing or have I doomed myself with my poor setup?

Thanks for any help as I'm a new data horder and have never attempted something like this before.

Im fairly new to gallery-dl for scraping galleries, so if there's a better way to accomplish this, please let me know.

I got tired of using the command line to scrape galleries so i wrote this script that uses gallery-dl.

At this time it's only for windows, but i am going to upload a mac version as well in the coming days.

It's a simple batch file that uses a URL saved in your clipboard and when run, acts on that URL, opens a save dialog box, and prompts for a naming scheme. It then downloads the files to the chosen directory and appends the chosen naming scheme with file numbers. If run again using the same naming scheme and same folder, it checks for the largest number and starts from there.

I set the file to load using a keyboard shortcut and button on my stream deck to make things even easier.

It's my first attempt at writing code, so it's definitely not perfect, but I hope some of you find it useful.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hi there,

There's a good chance this is well known documented and I just don't know what it's called so bare with me.

My Setup is currently a Server Chassis that has a LSI 9300-8e, I run two cables from that into a 24 Bay Box below it that has a backplane with 4 SAS connectors.

I then use the other two connectors to run back out and connect to the second 24 Bay Box and this all works nicely.

I'm looking at getting a 3rd box to expand further and it got me wondering if the only way to connect this is by running another 2 cables from the 2nd box to the second box... or is it possible to create a ring where one of the ports on the 9300 goes to Box 1, the other goes to box 3, and both of the backplanes within them connect to Box 2?

Reasoning is that now It's getting a little large I'd prefer to have the ability for say Box 1 to be taken off line while drives from Box 2 and 3 are still available?

I run my Plex serve on a refurbished mini desktop purchased off Amazon a few years ago, and it does everything I would need it to. However, it's stuck on Win10 due to hardware limitations, and I received notice that, since Win10 will be EOL in October, there will be no future updates.

The machine is connected to my local network, and I'm assuming it'd run the same risk as any other computer running on an unsupported OS, where over time, it'll be a continuously bigger risk. Is anyone else in this boat with having to replace old hardware for the sake of future security updates? I'm assuming I know the answer, but is there any workaround to this to avoid unnecessarily upgrading?

What's your process? Thinking about how to restore from both offline and online "cloud" backups.

For example, how do you test restoring your computer from a backup? I'm particularly nervous to test this and wonder if I should try restoring to a different computer to be safe.

Haven't found many resources about this online, even though people stress its importance. Would appreciate resources.

Still confused in the difference between a hdd enclosure and DAS ( nas is not considered in my situation )

I've attached an image

Can this be considered as a DAS

btw I'm in the Philippines, the term "DAS" isn't widely used
