    etrash2000 got a reaction from wildcat_paris in Differences between Armbian and Bananian, please?   
    This is true but unfortunately, my knowledge stops at 2006 .
     
    I will try to read up and do a test run with btrfs to see if it is simple enough.
    I currently waiting on the harddrives which are delayed 2 weeks.
     
    Can btrfs tools do the following:
    * re-evelate the checksum of the file on the disk without rewriting the file.
    * export the checksum to an external database in order to keep historical data so i can know when the change/corruption occurred.

    Thanks TKaiser,
     
    I was hoping that you would respond since I read most of your comments on the Bananian forum and I knew that you had switched.
    The reply is as I expected (which is why I posted the question here instead of at the Bananian forum) but I would like to have it confirmed by someone which has used both systems before I commit any work on this small project.
     
    Concerning the layout of the project, I have not decided yet on any specific protocol yet. I will later post about my ideas later when I have tried a few things and when I more time.
     
    In the mean time, if anyone of you have some ideas or experience with backups then feel free to keep this tread alive (if it is allowed the forum rules). The things I want is
    * Local daily backup of my laptop. Revision control and check-sum control are required. Monthly checksums will go into a local database.
    * Local offline backup to an external USB-disk, probably will commit this manually 2-4 times a year.
    * Remote backup, daily or weekly. Probably with rsync to local server. Checksum control here as well. 
    * E-Mail daily progress from both local and remote servers, preferably encrypted.
    * Move rootfs to ram in order to avoid the SD card once the system is up and running.
    * I have not decided on how to obtain my local/remote IP address, probably DynDNS but emails could be an option.
     
    Background info: I have about 300GB of photos and home videos which I do not want to loose. Those damn cameras are just getting bigger and bigger image sizes .
     
     
    Thanks again.

    Yes, i have seen that page.
     
    I also know that both of them are using Debian repositories, so I assume that the difference is in how the kernel is built.
    I did a very rudimentary test run with both Bananian and Armbian. The throughput with sftp were similar for both at 10MB/s over WiFi, mainly limited by CPU on the board.
    This is fine with me since my internet upload is 10mbps to the remote site.
     
    My goal is to build a long-term backup solution for my photos, home videos and some documents, totaling about 300-400GB. I don't want to touch the system after first launch (with exception of updates).
    My hope is Armbian which support more plattforms will be more stable and secure than Bananian as it could attract more users.
     
    Btw, i'm om Jessie, vanilla image.
