Hi Guys,
I am in progress of finishing my unraid build, data is already in the array, but I have some questions. My share structure looks like this:
Tower
* Media (common media)
- Movies
- Music
* User0 (private share only for User0)
- Some private data
* User1 (private share only for User1)
- Some private data
* User2 (private share only for User2)
- Some private data
* Family (common family media)
- Photos
- Videos
I am in general happy with it, but I have concerns regarding backup data from users laptops/PCs. Backups are done by schedulled task (Robocopy,Windows 7 Backup,etc), and I see two options on UnRaid:
* Backup (as separate share accessed by everyone)
- User0
- User1
- User2
OR
* User0
- Backup
- Some private data
etc.
The first approach is much cleaner and also backuping unraid itself will be easier, since I will only backup Media, UserX and Family folders, leaving backup share not backed up. But I see searious security flaw here - every user will have access to every backup! The second option is more secure as Backup is a part of User share, but I would have to exclude it during unraid backup, and the folder will be messing around private user files, which is not so "clean".
Do you have any better ideas for share organization? How do you handle "backup" share security in your setups?
