The first thing that changed was the case. I revamped the UnRAID box from the ground up a few years back.

After time and increasing my drive count, I'm currently running a Pro licence with the following. UnRAID is now selling licenses for 3 tiers: Basic (6 drive max), Plus (12 drive max) and Pro (unlimited drives.but actually limited to 30). This functionality is offered in the Plus and Pro versions. I think also that I will be able to setup specific rights for individuals so they only have access to certain files on the UnRAID server. This will also mean that instead of having computers networking into other computers, and sharing directories on the network, scattering information across multiple systems, that in order to read, one would have to make sure that particular system is awake, all computers will network into the UnRAID server and can view/play all content right from the server.in one central, redundant location.

So my new project will be to build an UnRAID server that will store the following:ĭVD movies/HD content, recorded TV for either the MediaPC or the HTPC, pictures, games, install software, any other files that will be deemed important for backup, including the music-server, HTPC, MediaPVR backups. If a data drive goes down, I can replace with a new drive (of equal or greater size) and the data will be re-written to it.hence no data is lost. What this allows is the use of 2 data drives and one parity drive. You can use run of the mill parts, and the OS can be trialed free for 30 days (for the basic RAID of 3 hard drives of various size). Main reason, I needed something that is robust, but also won't break me in the bank. I've settled on an UnRAID NAS server by Lime Technology. So in thinking of a system for data backup, I thought about the different RAID types. Currently I would have to re-rip all my albums. I thought about a simple RAID setup for the music-server, but then I started to think, what about a means for backing up my DVD collection? I was going to install a large drive into the HTPC, but what happens if that drive goes down? I would have to rip all my DVD's again. As more media systems are added into my network, either via HTPC, MediaPC, music-server, or run of the mill computers for the kid's or surfing the web, I'm now starting to understand more and more the need for a robust storage backup scheme.
