Backup
Zevaka, 2011-04-22 10:44:26

Tell me how best to organize a backup of music

Situation: there is an external hard drive (more precisely, two in raid1, western digital my book 4Tb). It has all my music on it, more than a terabyte of files, and I can't imagine what would happen if I lost it all. I'd rather be disabled. So, I want to scatter this terabyte on an old external hard drive and an almost free laptop screw.

Naturally, the music on the WD hard is constantly updated (mostly by adding, sometimes replacing old files with new ones). So how do I conveniently organize all this? So that once a month or two I can update the backups to the current state without manually controlling what has changed in these tens of thousands of files.

I want to organize it like this: say, folders from A to M on a laptop, the rest on an external hard drive.

Thank you.

rsync - it is available for both Windows and Linux,
you can configure it exactly the way you want

I don't know what kind of music you have (or do you write it yourself?), but in general, it is much more efficient to store a selection of .torrent files as backups of music nowadays.

I think I read it in some magazine. The dude accidentally made hashes from all the files, and then his screw flew. He remembered the hashes and fed them to either a torrent rocker or an emul. In general, after some time, his collection was restored by 90 percent.

In my opinion, the general and correct answer has already been given:
rsync Perhaps the author of the question will find them useful.
1) A separate NAS to which everything will be backed up (using the same rsync, for example) It also streams music to the local network, making it available to any device. Pros - convenience. Cons - price.
2) Backup with WD somewhere in the cloud (yes, even in the same amazon) Pros - geographically spaced backup is good, no additional equipment is required at home, there will always be enough space (as long as there is enough money) Cons - price for space and for traffic .
3) A completely heretical option. For myself, I recently solved a similar problem and came to the conclusion that even if my data dies a heroic death along with the screw, there are not so many data that will die forever. Most of the music and movies can be restored if there was the Internet. In my opinion, it only makes sense to keep something completely unique: Very rare music, personal photos / videos, etc. That is, something that cannot be re-downloaded from the Internet. The cost of any backup is quite high (equipment, food, maintenance). Is such an effort worth the data that can be recovered in a different way?

you can tinker with cobian backup by creating backup rules

1. Make hashes and copy to DVD + Internet. Just in case.
2. Buy a separate NAS like d-link dns 323, put it with a good friend/relatives/at the office/at the dacha, the main thing is to have a tolerable Internet channel.
3. Synchronize two NAS <<>> NAS at home
4. Forward a VPN tunnel from your home to where the second NAS will be
5. Install alternative firmware on the D-link and set up the tunnel, connect to the main NAS and copy fresh files
6. Profit!

There are services that automatically copy money to the cloud. My music is stored somewhere in America.

The author, having read more carefully, seems to understand what the reason is: apparently, the DNS settings were changed through a bug in the router.
1) Climb into the router, register native DNS (or DNS from Google: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4), change the password, reboot the router.
2) If the problem persists, try to connect directly without a router.

And what is the catch of the minuses (or are these the same kulhatsk-villains)? By the way, here is the message again:

I met something similar about a month and a half ago. The most interesting thing is that in the hosts it “seemed” that everything was in order. rootkit.
Enter in "run":
cmd / K type %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Surely you will see the "magic" lines.
