Easy to set up, very secure. I uses for my office and home<br>and with friends. I has agents for linux, mac and windows as well<br>iOS/Android.<br><div><br></div>I had my server setup in about thirties. I was able to share files after<br>that. I love so much I am planning to by a cert.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Agents for all is a plus. My big concern is offsite replication of some of the data. I've ran Dropbox command linse server on CentOS ins the past and was able to use that as a backup method for that system. </div><div><br></div><div>Possibly I could do the same here and then hard links from that directory will be how I choose. Of course system links work too. I just tested that as I wrote this email.</div><div><br></div><div>I could build OC on a BBB with a 1T external USB drive. Then pay DB $9.99/mon for 1T of space and symlink what I want on DB there.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I could use 2 1T drives in a RAID1 config to backup the hardware. Does not protect against theft or destruction by fire. I know I can go to Fry's and get NAS that is fire rated, but I'm looking at building my own now.</div><div><br></div><div>how much heat is generated by the BBB and the USB drive? Possible to take a cheap Sentry doc safe, drill a hole for power and then that is the solution? I could even bolt it to the floor. A fire would burn the power cable, but I can't imagine that fire moving into the safe and doing much damage there. It would not even be able to breath in there. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I guess the best solution will be to rig up my Pi in the Sentry and a small temp probe and allow it to run for a while. If the heat is minimal then it should be able to radiate out. I don't know.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
