[solved] Protect data in home cloud

Hi,

In last days i had problems with my private data(corrupted disk and overrided data by mistake). So i decided to keep data in cloud. Prices for that are quite big for me so i'm thinking about create my own cloud storage.

What i have:
- old laptop with arch
- 2 x 1TB usb disk

What i want to have:
- data in cloud, access from android and linux(arch, ubuntu)
- disk replication (one of my 1TB USB disks will be master and second will be backup)

I found owncloud opensource cloud server. But how to acheive disk/data replication? Can you help?

PS. Amazon have very good and cheap cloud 12$ for unlimited photos(this is what i need) per year. But i can't pay for this from Poland and amazon cloud don't have linux client.
PS2. Maybe you know cheap clouds with linux clients available?

Syncthing and a RAID 1 array for redundancy.

Re: [solved] Protect data in home cloud

My suggestion is to look at ZFS with snapshots and perhaps Syncthing to sync to the array.
That way if you are unlucky and delete a file on there, it may still exist in the Snapshot.
You can try BTRFS, but personally I found the way they handle snapshots a lot more complicated than ZFS.

Re: [solved] Protect data in home cloud

I found interesting solution. I have about 25GB data to backup. I found cloud with 50GB for free and linux client(mega.nz). So for now i will use mega and i will think again when i will need more than 50GB. Thanks for help.
