[Thanks to UC#1 for today’s topic]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a recent WLBOTT <\/strong>Disaster Recovery Symposium (WLBOTT DReSs<\/strong>), UC#1 addressed the digital asset infrastructure:

I started on this project on Aug 30. It took 15 days for the new drives to arrive and 5 days to rebuild the RAID.

Now I have to convert the old 3TB drives into USB external and copy tonnes of stuff. Of course, I won\u2019t throw anything out. Not even Simply Accounting letter templates from 2004. Never know when they might come in handy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assembled panel inquired: Are you using RAID so that you can do a hot swap if there’s a disc failure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is a 4 drive QNAP NAS in RAID configuration. I can hot-swap a single drive. The upgrade procedure should have been \u201cswap single drive & extend volume\u201d but I didn\u2019t realize it and just did the \u201cswap single drive and resync\u201d. Each drive took about 10 hours to resync and then I had to do the separate \u201cextend volume\u201d step which took another 10 hours.

I actually had a drive error on drive 4 before I started all this, so I was overdue on swapping the failing drive out.

Now I have all 4 of the old 3 TB drives in a Terramaster 4 bay USB cabinet.

You can show the storage, but include the rest:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason I am running out of space is primarily because of the massive amounts of video I have recovered from VHS and Super-8 tapes as well as all of the raw and edited video for Mountain Sapphire<\/a>. There might be the odd downloaded video from prime in there as well.

Once I get all the files sorted into the right places I will start throwing stuff our. Or not. Maybe I\u2019ll just leave it for my son to deal with after I\u2019m gone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m having metric tonnes of fun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
