So many errors. I wonder how? Perhaps 2 rsyncs running at the same time?
No. You could possibly get messed up files, although rsync is pretty safe. But you should never be able to cause filesystem corruption from user level actions.
Well I am shopping for a USB ext HD...
At least 2TB, <$100, USB 2, Good life time .... 2,5" or 3.5"?
Well I will call the local Micro Center tomorrow and see what they have in stock and do a drive up pickup.
FWIW, when it comes to backups I prefer not to have a single point of failure. Yes, $100 is inexpensive but I
still rather, and have, shelled out about $450 for a 3TB 2-Bay NAS. The drives themselves are about $100.
And if one dies, you don't lose anything, and you just pop in a replacement. Plus a NAS, for me, is nice to
have and be able to share filesystems via NFS to various systems in the network.
The other advantage for a NAS is that many of them have addon packages like a bittorrent client, DNS server,
DHCP server, OpenVPN server and client, etc. This can be helpful for folks such as myself who want those
extras but rather not be bothered with installing and configuring from scratch. :-)
That may be my next move, to get away from maintaining this server. But
right now I have to have a trustable backup drive.
