About a month ago I got OpenMediaVault up and running on a Raspberry Pi. It worked until the disk failed so I ended up redoing it all with a real computer and a better disk. I also added a backup disk and have an rsync job running daily to do a backup.
There’s also a computer off-site that does a daily backup to the NAS via rsync over ssh. Next on the list is to do the same with a web server I’ve got running at a hosting provider.
This post is really just a check-in to say it’s been working really well. I do like OpenMediaVault for a very simple NAS solution…
That said, I’m digging into TrueNAS Scale now and it’s… a lot. Which is fine. It’s been fun comparing the two, and I’ll have a post coming to cover TrueNAS soon.
Oh, and I’m considering building a small simple NAS using OpenMediaVault to go off-site for a bit more redundancy with the backups. Stay Tuned!
