 ====== Custom Home Server Build ======
-From long ago I've wanted to build my own home server. This goes back almost 10 years. I sketched it out. The ideal home server I think for me size seems to be a 6 drive situation. Hot swappable with plenty of redundancy. Being able to back up my existing server automatically syncing is a major key. That way there's redundancy, out in the garage, so if there's a disaster in the home, my files are backed up.
+From long ago I've wanted to build my own home server. This goes back over 10 years. I sketched it out. The ideal home server I think for me size seems to be a 6 drive with redundancy of course. Hot swappable. The server should also back up to a second server for more redundancy, perhaps in the garage second part of the house.
