Any reason not to use a BeeStation Plus as a Time Machine target?

And before you say it doesn’t have RAID, #RAIDisNotAbackup and my only use case is backing up.

TrueNAS @ TARDIS New alerts: • Pool tank state is ONLINE: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state. The following devices are not healthy: • Disk WDC_WD200EDGZ-11BLDS0 2LGBPSNK is FAULTED

I love starting my day with a healthy serve of failing disk for breakfast. #truenas #zfs #raidisnotabackup

Me: This data is important can cannot be re-created if lost, so in addition to making a local NAS copy I'm gonna do a backup in the cloud.
Computer: Okay.
Me: Progress-bar is taking ages to progress. I'll let it run and do something else with my time.

Day 2 in a series of fixing #homelab hardware things I've been putting off for far too long. A 5 drive raid6 of 2Tb disks...11 years old... that is down to 3 drives. I bought replacement 16tb drives weeks ago. I have backups, but I don't *want* to use them. Will it last the night?! #raidisnotabackup

On the one hand, I instantly had a cold sweat when I saw the SMART failures. On the other hand, it’s mildly reassuring that the SMART monitoring does indeed provide some heads up about impending doom.

I really need to find a better way to back up these 96TB.
