Offside backup solution made of a Raspberry Pi and spare SSDs
1This is less of a tutorial video rather than me showing off something I made for my own use in the past few days.
Using an old Raspberry Pi 3B Plus, two Samsung EVO SSDs I still had lying around and a 3D printer, this is a low power solution that syncs data from and to my computers at home, as well as the phone and my workstation and laptop in the company.
We are allowed to BYOD, so it's all good.
The Pi runs DietPi with Syncthing that handles syncing of my data.
I have (using ChatGPT because I'm easily confused by syntax when trying to write scripts) created a shell script that executes after boot that first mounts both Veracrypt encryped drives, before another script handles mirroring the data from one SSD to the other via rsync.
Data throughput could be seen as problem, however, as I really only sync document files for 99% of the time, this setup is good enough for me.
