 I have an external USB caddy to hot-plug bare hard disks into. This is used for backups. They can take a while to copy (due to the speed of the USB connection). I'm not sure how long the backups take. I run them over night, and they are always finished before breakfast. I have an external USB caddy to hot-plug bare hard disks into. This is used for backups.

 +===== What Does My TrueNAS Server Do? =====
 +
 +I have been running a Fedora Linux server for many years on an old Dell Dimension E520 PC. It supports many experimental projects and live systems. Lots of things have accumulated over time - some good, and some now redundant. I'm working my way through the cobwebs and moving various services to my new TrueNAS box. This is a work in progress, and an interesting voyage of discovery.
 +
 +Things that seem to work ok now :
 +  * [[heimdall|Heimdall]] Dashboard
 +  * [[boinc|BOINC]] client for [[https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/|World Community Grid]]
 +  * [[transmission|Transmission]] P2P Torrent downloads
 +
 +Things I'm currently working on :
 +  * [[gateway|Gateway and Firewall]]
 +  * DNS & DHCP server - using [[dnsmasq]]
 +  * [[famp|FAMP]] Stack - FreeBSD Apache MySQL PHP - initially for internal use only.
 +  * NTP time sync server
 +  * Simple [[mail|mail server]] for internal use only (gathering system reports and alerts)
 +
 +Things I'll look at soon :
 +  * DLNA / UPnP media server
 +  * MythTV Freeview DVB-T recorder
 +  * Network Intrusion detection
 +  * Reverse Proxy - to provide public access to hosted web sites
 +  * VPN
 +  * Security cameras with motion detection
 +  * Docker container (maybe need to set up Linux in a VM for this)
 +  * Move this web site to my TrueNAS server.
 +  * HumHub
 +  * NextCloud
 +  * PMS - maybe Monica or vTiger
