Securing Linux File Servers

Hi,
Perhaps I'm missing something, or have not read the entire thread properly, but why would a NAS not work over here ? Unless, the server would be performing some other function, apart from acting as a File Server ... Most NAS boxes too use Linux-based operating systems...

My company had some bad experiences with NAS and as a result are very close minded about them. This is my way around that.

Call it a file server. Problem solved.

And just back it up to hard drives with a network card attached. (Don't call it a NAS, lol).

I guess I could do that but I have a server I can re-purpose for this. It would be really simple

Any NAS recommendations? I'd say 4 HD Max w/ raid 10. Might as well do it right.

One without NAS in its name, like Synology or ioSafe.

You've got a server to repurpose for holding the scanned data... But do you also have a server that can be repurposed to hold the backups of said data?

ioSafe uses Synology under the hood. So no. LOL

Yes. Our backup servers are at 25% utilization
