I'm open to some suggestions on ensuring my home data/server is backed up sufficiently as most of my media collection continues to grow.
Currently, I have a server in my basement running Ubuntu Server. The server itself runs off a CF card, and the tower has the ability to hold 8 drives.
The tower currently has 5, 1 TB Western Digital green drives in the machine in a Soft Raid 5 configuration, giving about 4TB of storage space. And I've filled about 2TB of that currently with various movies, TV shows, and documents.
But I'm worried in the event of any issues, and one day not being able to rebuild the array should multiple HD's crash, a flood or other catrasophe hit, etc.
Thus, I'm considering looking to have a backup of my data remotely someplace. I'm willing to pay for this backup service as well, and figure it could be sync'd once every 30 days, etc.
Does anyone have any recommendations for any backup providers that are safe, secure, etc?
