    I buy better gear that doesn’t regularly require a reboot

    My mikrotik has not NEEDED a reboot ever, except when I run upgrades. Everything is set up to auto recover when disconnects happen, and power up properly if there’s an extended power failure that causes UPS shutdowns.

    I will never understand why people think rebooting their router regularly is a normal thing. That just means your gear or setup is crap.















  • I did (am doing) something very similar. I definitely have issues with my indexing, but I’m just ordering it manually by year/date for now.

    I’m doing a little extra for parity though. I’m using 50-100gb discs for the data, and using 25gb discs as a full parity disc via dvdisaster for each disc I burn. Hopefully that reduces the risk of the parity data also being unreadable, and gives MORE parity data without eating into my actual data discs. It’s hard enough to break up the archives into 100gb chunks as is.

    Need to look into bacula as suggested by another poster.
