How much Redundancy for safety?
My ran into "Corrupt root" issue with my ReadyNAS. I have 2 x 2TB disk in X-RAID2. I am praying that I do not lose any data due to this. Does it make sense to also have a online cloud backup? If...
Glad you figured something out. That's going to take a while to Upload all that Data to them. I have Comcast with 200Mbps Download and 10Mbps Upload. Yet a 1TB Cap. That much Data would take 10 months if I maxed out my CAP every month just for that. I got another NAS. Nothing fancy. It's for Home after all, and am using rsync locally, and even that I'm only getting about 27-29Mb/s That's what it's telling me. This cheap ARM NAS is not a speed machine. It's still 3 times faster then what my Upload Speed would be and It's beeing backing up my 13TB of Data for the last 3 days. It's a little over half full now. If I was sending all this over Comcast, it would be at 9 days so far. That's 24 hours a day. I think I have another 2 days to go. Or 15 days over Comcast If they would let me, which they wouldn't. It would take me 13 months at 1TB CAP a month doing nothing else. That's just crazy and not pratical for me. I guess I could pay Comcast the extra $50 a month to get Unlimited Back, but Unlimited still is not unlimited and I'm sure they'd start doing something like slowing my speed way down after so many TB's if not canceling service.
I know some of these company's will send you a HDD with all your Data on it because it's so much faster. Download speed is way, way faster then Upload speed. I'm not sure if any of them offer that service the other way around.

It's done 1.5 TB so far (140-150 GB/day). That's slower than I expected - I have an 880 mbps upload speed with no cap - so it is limited by their cloud. I probably should have manually cut down the home backup to 5 TB and then "adopted" it on the new server - but that didn't occur to me at the time.
Still, it will finish in about 8 weeks or so, and the speed might pick up. This is my disaster recovery plan, I still have my local NAS backups.

My service happens to be symmetric.
Crashplan did have an optional seeding option when I first signed up (2012), but I think now it is limited to Crashplan Enterprise. Back in 2012 it didn't make sense for me - there was a 1 TB hard drive limit, which takes me about a week to back up over the internet.
