OT: system recommendation

[Mike Bonner]

Thanks Bob.  Yeah I've already been stressing the need for a backup
strategy. Possibly a combination of a freenas with zfs1 (3 drives, I
already have most of the parts to make it work) and nextcloud as part of
the strategy. (plus offline)  Love freenas.  (now i'm wondering if the
network would be quick enough to work off a share)  So much to learn.
