snapraid
A backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of your data and it recovers from up to six disk failures
-
WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Since I store static files shared via NFS and Samba I use snapraid run every night to make a parity file (backup of a backup haha), mergefs to simulate one big drive, and each drive is encrypted with luks. Not a great setup for a DB but could also partition and RAIDx just those. I can lose 1 disk with 0% loss but 2 disks and I loose only the files on those 2 disks (was less of a loss when I had 10 drives). I also can also have separate heads reading files if they happen to be on different drives.
