oh good, this one is mirrored, perfect.

Yeah i have some very manual backups setup, rsync and task scripting go brrr.

I don't need anything more complicated in my life frankly.

I started using Pushover to alert me about my backups so I get one of these daily:

Wasn’t too hard and only had to do it once.

it's a systemd unit on my side, so i've got logging and potential to implement reporting if i desired, but frankly it's not worth the effort, i just check to see if the drives have roughly the same data on them every so often, because rsync is handling the rest for me, as well as systemd.

I should probably set up proper smart reporting, but i'm lazy and don't want to setup and email server lol.

I used to send email alerts but this just uses Pushover which is just an API call. Super easy.

i've considered setting it up, but i don't think smartd supports pushover so meh.
