Stupid Tech question. How do I know when my data has been protected by the NAS.

Posted by sycor Feb 1 '21, 09:17

Meaning, I've dumped a lot of data to the NAS. It's set up in SHR (sinology hybrid raid). How do I know when it's done with the redundancy backup? I can't seem to find anything in the NAS interface and can't find anything in Google, but I'm not sure how to ask Google the right question.

- Main Menu -> Storage Manager -> Storage Pool. If it says healthy, you're fine. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 09:20 10

    - Yeah, I need to fine-tune my own offsite backups ... - Beryllium Feb 1, 09:26 4
      - I don't bother to be redundant with my personal cloud storage. I sync all my stuff to onedrive and, perhaps foolishly, trust Microsoft to keep it - oblique Feb 1, 09:30 3
        
        And for pictures I've been considering getting an old Pixel 1 since the P1 still has unlimited original quality backup to Google Photos. And the pics - sycor Feb 1, 09:35 1
        
        Since Google screwed us, I moved my pics to Amazon Photos -- nm - oblique Feb 1, 09:36
        
        I don't have a ton of super important data other than pictures. Which are backed up to Crashplan, on my PC and the NAS. -- nm - sycor Feb 1, 09:33
