Need some experience and direction. I will try to provide as much background info as possible.
We just recently purchased a home. Between that, my relatively new computer, my wifes likely work from home new business, the latest google Kerfluffle and a job that can pay for it all, its well passed time for me to implement a structured backup system for our devices and data. Especially if my wifes business grows there will be a lot of pictures to archive.
Current used Devices: Two android tablets, two smartphones, two desktops and two laptops, one e-note device
Needs/Desires: Centralized file storage, device backups, wired network to main computer areas (I have a basement to run cables in), data backups (I need to develop a good plan including off site), system recovery, possible email hosting although my mental concept of what is involved is probably out of date. Any other interesting things that arent too much more work when you already have the infrastructure.
We have lowest tier Spectrum at the moment but will be upgrading when the business officially rolls out. No fiber in the area yet. tmobile claims to have there home service available (surprising since I dont think they have good coverage in our area). Our old modem flaked out so I bought a nicer new one in anticipation.
I can probably cobble together some very old components into another computer if need be.
I'm looking for guidance on storage, backups which is why I postal here but also on the home network side.
Sorry this is so open ended.
