Hopefully so for others . The Walmarts in my area always has poor stock and get picked clean of anything decent . <| sep |> Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! What ? Are you sleeping ? <| sep |> I don ' t have any redundant storage other than my fileserver , which is run through a VM on my ESXi server so sadly thats not an optionI would settle for just keeping them backed up , but my fileserver VM has hardware passthrough with an HBA , meaning I can ' t just use Veeam to back it up like the others . To actually back it up , it must be powered off . And if its powered off , it doesn ' t have access to itself , which is where all the storage is locatedCurrently this is my plan for backing up the fileserver VM , and recovering from an SSD failure 1 . Backup FS 01 when its powered off to my desktop , and then copy it back to my fileserver This means its not very recent 2 . Put DrivePool drives with backup , into desktop PC or recover VM from ACD 3 . Restore old version of VM , get it up to date and then restore the rest Obviously that is completely possible , but its a huge pain . There is only 2 ways I could mitigate this problem 1 . Somehow enable decent , frequent backups of my fileserver I am also working on this 2 . Get RAID 1 or some kind of duplication
