Tomorrow is World Backup Day, so I’m embarking on redoing my network attached storage and associated backup process. The long part is waiting and testing new hard drives. I have to, make another backup of the data locally, remove all the drives from the NAS, install the new SSD OS drive, and the bigger data drives, do a complete self test(which for a 10TB drive is about 16 hours). Then restore from the backup…test…if the restoration doesn’t work, remove the new drives and bring back the old 3TB drives and start all over again…I’ll be done by…sometime in April.
