Comment I basically have the same setup (Score 2, Informative) 484

My backup has been worked good for the last few years. I had a large windows tower filled with hard drives...
* One of my HDD was encrypted using Truecrypt.
* A scheduled Acronis task would image my OS drive to the encrypted drive.
* I have another encrypted HDD in one of these KINGWIN KF-91-BK trays (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121172)
* After Acronis was done, I would kick off a little batch file to mount the tray drive (which was encrypted) and run SyncBack Pro to mirror the encrypted source. Then dismount.

I just bought a few extra trays. Each month I sync all the other HDD in the system (including the encrypted drive) for my off-site backup. One flaw in my system was if one of the other "data drives" crashed, I would loose at most a month of changes. They were just music/videos and didn't change very much. I accepted this fault.

I out grew the tower and recently built a cheap unRaid box. Most if it should work the same, except now I have redundancy for all my drives in the case of a crash.
