To the Twitarr/Network Monkeys:
I need your assistance in determining the best method of setting up a media share for next year. The last 2 years I attempted to utilize my own external hard drive to store off and share with others my videos (and anything else people have captured and want to share). That has had mixed success due to mostly luck on my part in it not being wiped out by mistake, lack of a backup in case that happens, and being mostly a bottleneck due to only allowing one person plugged in at a time to access or update the footage. What would be the best way on the ship that we could set up a better station where people could upload and read at the same time, with pretty decent speed, and have the files once written be read only and backed up periodically to avoid lost data? I’m willing to invest in a bit of equipment for that if need be, but hoping it can be coordinated with the other server activities (not expecting it to add to the network strain of the intranet on board, but maybe as a local hub or wifi point local to the game room).
Let me know what you guys think. We have a year to plan. Not sure if we possibly need a different thread to discuss (or if one already exists and I overlooked it for next year’s planning).
Thanks,
Roop
