How do I safely store my files?
I have an 8TB hard drive in my desktop and an 8TB hard drive in a low power server. Btrfs to presumably detect bitrot at the filesystem level. They run syncthing to keep in sync. Both machines have external hard disk drive bays, and every so often I&#x27;ll manually copy all my files to a 3rd disk as a cold backup.<p>It seems like a good enough solution for me to not worry or think too hard about it. Syncthing isn&#x27;t the most user friendly software though. When I upgraded from 2TB to 8TB drives, I accidentally a setting and ended up with about 1TB of duplicated &quot;sync conflict&quot; files. If I wasn&#x27;t a salty software engineer comfortable writing arbitrarily complex scripts with free reign to delete files, it would have taken more than a weekend afternoon to clean that up...
