How to set up one remote HDD to mirror UnRaid server

CheekyBugger · September 24, 2021

I have been offered two used Toshiba MG07ACA14TE 128MB 14TB hard drives for $520 (each with 2000 hrs and 7 start ups, good deal?). My plan is to use one in my unraid server and place the other in a different city across the country and mirror/ backup my unraid server to it. I assume this is doable.

My first question is how would i set this up?

My second question is how do i connect the backup HDD to the internet/ a router? I assume i have to buy some external case for it, what would that be?

Well your gonna need some sort of computer on the other end, something like a pi or simmilar is cheap and will work, or get a synology nas or simmilar.

Do you have a vpn server setup? Thats a easy way of doing it, then you can use rsync or simmilar over that.

Otherwise there are lots of options, like using rsycn over ssh, and other avaiable sync programs.
