How do I protect my system from data degradation and bit rot?

>>59630629
Now this is autism

>>59630629
Just store everything important in the cloud you fucking luddite.

>>59630643
Great insight, but half of my rare anime collection just isn't available on torrent trackers anymore and my optical copies degrade just as fast as my magnetic and NAND memory.

>>59630629
perform a hexdump of everything you need saved and then print the output on a4 printing paper

>>59630691
FUCKING IDIOT NOT EVEN CONVERTING IT INTO A QR CODE

>>59630629
w-what are you hiding?

Bitrot is p. rare anon. Just use btrfs or something and forget about it.

>>59630666
Checked. As soon as you get comfortable storing your degenerate cartoon porn on the cloud the sooner you'll find a girlfriend who likes it too

>>59630666
I have too much invested to trust the cloud and there is no reliable provider here in Ukraine. I'm thinking of building a server rack with 512gb ecc memory ram drive NAS units, maybe 12 of them, and having them cycle data in rotation from the ssd/hdd raid array.

>>59630629
I hope you do all that, then get hit by a bus the next day.

>>59630629
>RAID0
>data integrity

nigga hope you have backups cuz RAID ain't no backup and RAID0 ain't even redundant

Use ZFS or Btrfs for the file system.

>>59630718
>even giving a shit about backing up your media

Also store locally and get something offsite. This is basic 3-2-1 shit and anyone who disregards "cloud backups" is a retard

This doesn't provide on demand storage. I want to be able to stream my rare anime archive hence the investments.

>>59630869
wtf? then you weekly mirror the precious anime tapes to lead cased ssds (obviously some uber redundant raid array of ssds)

bitch you better make your cables out of gold conductor and lead shielding

>>59630985
>ssds for archival storage

learn some basic computer science
questions like
>does the network transfer risk further data degradation?
display such a severe lack of knowledge, that there's no way to convince you of what a good strategy would be, since you wouldn't understand why it would work

>>59630629
Just use a FS with redundancy and checksumming (e.g., ZFS) and schedule periodic parity scrubbing.

Sector-level forward error correction in drives (HDD and SSD) is more robust than you realize, and RAID6/RAID-Z2/whatever-multi-parity can save your ass from a lot of problems if you can deal with the cost/performance hit.

Using non-volatile memory is begging for bit flips and critical data loss.

>>59630629
Printouts, retard.

no the tapes ar archive and the ssds are copies you refresh weekly

A tulpa is the safest waifu storage medium.

Depends on how many hertz it is running

>>59630629
>I have it running in a faraday cage with a primary SSD mirrored by a RAID0 HDD array, both ssd and hdd array changed every six months, and an emergency redunancy high speed SD flash card memory array changed every quarter

You have none of those things.

To prevent bitrot, use a filesystem that is aware of the drives, such as ZFS or btrfs.

>>59632354
>such as ZFS or btrfs.
memefs you mean

>>59632406
Feel free to suggest alternatives.

Oh right, those are the best options. Well then.

>>59631647
Undetected bit flips are only an issue in ECC-less RAM.

All non-volatile storage has a ton of redundancy built in that requires large numbers of corrupt bits in a block to be corrupted.

It's no substitute for a backup and it does have a shorter lifespan than magnetic storage, but it's not gonna magically undetectably flip bits in your file.

Your method is completely useless.
The act of transferring the data also puts it at risk. Hardware RAID controllers also pose a risk as you cannot audit them to ensure they know all the thousands of ways data can go bad.
Use ZFS.

There are no unstable releases.
It is feature full with no known data destructive bugs and a perfect track record when it comes to stability so long as you stick to the defaults.
Your data is secure as long as you have redundancy and don't try to micromanage on a block level.
Your file system can handle all of that for you.

It's literally one time setup, walk away for a decade and come back to resilver the array and replace a faulted disk or two.
ECC is more secure but memory errors can be caught, in some respects, with FULL end to end checksums you can enable through kernel params.
