Hello,
I've been running kodi off a 3 tb hdd for a while. It is nearing getting full so I have invested in a 4 bay sata to usb hdd holder and so far a single 8tb 3.5 hdd to hook up to it. My question is how should I go about protecting my data? is raid 1 a good option? When I purchase a second 8tb drive should I configure it in raid one via software? It's hooked up to a rpi4. Can I configure raid 1 after already putting media on a single drive? My 3 tb hard drive has lasted like 7 years and is still going strong.
I also have blu ray burners. Should I just slowly backup all my media onto bluray disk and in the event that one goes down I can just restore it from backup? What are other people doing?
