Hi, I'm due for a hardware refresh of my backup targets. I'm currently using Dell MD arrays connected to a VMWare host that runs a Veeam proxy. I am considering changing things up a bit and switching to a Hardened Linux Repository. My first thought is to build a server with DAS and fill it with consumer SATA drives. I'm having trouble finding servers that either support enough internal storage, or external DAS from the same vendor so I can get a supported package. If this keeps up, I'll end up buying used hardware and going with third-party support, which I don't like to do.
What are others doing?
Also, any concerns around running a hardened repository, and then having driver issues or crashes in the future, that may be difficult to troubleshoot on a hardened server?
