One copy on each of:

-My desktop at home

-My server in the basement

-My work laptop's external hard drive

-An external hard drive in a fireproof lockbox (server backup)

-An external hard drive on a shelf at work (server backup)

-An external hard drive in my parent's house 150 miles away (server backup)

Try prying my files from my cold dead hands.

How do you keep them all in sync when you rip new music?

  • I put it on my desktop. I back it up to the server. Over the next few weeks/months, I connect an external drive to the server, update, and swap with the other 2. The work laptop drive gets updated from the server over rsync/SSH when I want to listen to my new stuff (almost right away).
