allows for more portability, but the hassles for such a small data-set don’t seem worth it IMHO.

I know many people will point out that keeping software RAID at the OS level with drivers, etc. You can certainly use software via Linux but I just find it easier if the OS sees your RAID array as a single drive because the actual RAID is handled upstream.

I would recommend either a hardware RAID (expensive but super-awesome) or a pseudo-hardware (aka still actually software) RAID via your motherboard/BIOS or a PCI-X expansion card.

The Debian/Ubuntu family lineage is probably the best choice for that reason.

Depending on your Linux experience level, I’d stick to the more popular distros if you think you may need help. Since you are running Seafile via Docker, you can just pick the base OS that you are most comfortable working on. I like and use Debian personally, but Ubuntu is a fine choice too.

I always prefer to use a simple minimal Linux installation for this type of thing unless you have other interoperability considerations such as needing to provide separate shares, SMB/Samba, etc.

Network speeds will be more of the speed determinant versus drive speeds in this type of setup. With modern interfaces and drives and given the small data-set, either option should give you satisfactory performance. Given the small amount of data (1TB), I would suggest either RAID 1 (mirror) or get another HDD and go for RAID 10/1+0 (stripe and mirror). This option could be preferable because this is an all-new computer, you want a fresh backup of the existing system, or you do not need the files from your old computer/backup.

This is also usually the best option to choose when you are upgrading your Operating System or just reinstalling the Backblaze software on the same computer. This is good if all of the data is exactly the same, and you would prefer to reassociate your preexisting backup with your new installation of the Backblaze software. You can find both these methods explained below: Inherit Backup state:Īn Inherit Backup State will resume your old backup on your new computer/hard drive. Both methods will properly license the new installation, but the way in which it is handled differs, the two methods are Inherit Backup State or Transfer License. There are two methods of moving a paid license from your original computer to a new computer or installation. You can find our guide on creating a restore here

If you need to recover any data, please create a restore before proceeding. Please note: Before proceeding with any method of transferring your license you should make sure that you do not need to retrieve any data from your previous backup.
