Due to the placement of the On/Off Shim, I found it easier to power the fan over USB and not try to solder the fan pins to the shimĭremel for cutting holes in the project box (and safety glasses)ĭust filter material if you want to incorporate that protection.

If you want a variable speed fan you’ll have to incorporate that into the build.

This fan will run at full tilt while the pi is powered on (as configured).

I used these tiny fans which are Product ID 3368 from Adafruit.

One or more 5V DC fans if you want to add active cooling

Just remember, the SD card you are using in the pi is most likely not made for excessive writes so use it as a last resort or for testing.

I used a spare 500GB USB hard drive that was on hand but you could use a flash drive, or even use the local storage on your SD card.

With the hard drive and fan in this build, a 3 Amp power supply will serve you well.

I had a few power supplies on hand that were purchased from MicroCenter and I believe they were branded QVS.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends a 5.1V power supply capable of supplying at least 2.5 amps.

You can use whatever OS you want, just make sure the necessary software listed below is supported.If you want to run this wirelessly and don’t plan to add external USB components, just get the micro USB extender or cut a hole and route your power cable straight through it.The Micro USB extension is Product ID 3258.To access the important ports on the pi, you’ll need to extend the ports to sit flush with the wall of the project box or cut a large enough hole in the project box to feed your wires through.Any momentary push button should work but this is Product ID 481 at AdafruitĮxtension cables for RJ-45, one or more USB A ports, and micro USB.This provides an easy panel mount solution and if you care to wire it up, an integrated status light.The On/Off Shim has a button built in but accepts an external button as well.I purchased this through Adafruit where it is listed as Product ID 3581.You have to solder on the GPIO header and then it will fit directly onto the GPIO pins of the pi.This allows you to power the pi on, and after installing their software, gracefully shutdown the pi with the push of a button.In case they stop selling them, this box was sold under the Bud Industries brand and the noted part number was CU-3285.I bought this one from amazon and the quality was excellent.

Large enough to house your pi, hard drive, and cables.

The parts list for this build is outlined below and here is a shot of the final project: Front panel - the only source of physical input. If I ran out and purchased these components, the total BOM would work out to around $160, though you could lower the cost by skipping the extension cables, using a different version of the pi, or opting for a DIY enclosure over the project box. It’s a simple setup but it accomplishes exactly what it needs to and was fairly affordable, though I did source a few components for free. I generate so little data every month that the backup process is fairly quick (no more than a minute unless I’ve traveled and generated a lot of photos). When I want to make a remote backup I ssh into the Pi, decrypt and mount the drive, run rysnc, unmount and re-encrypt the drive, and I’m done.

For the time being, I want manual control over the process and have not automated the backup process. Rsync is used as needed to run backup jobs to the remote site. I use a Raspberry Pi and a LUKS encrypted drive connected to my network over a VPN. On top of my current local backup drives, I’ve finally been able to setup a remote machine for offsite backups.

My backup strategy has varied through the years but has always incorporated duplication, at least of my critical data.
