You will build models and/or develop experiments to generate data when training and example datasets are unavailable. I’m not looking to spend a fortune but do not need the absolute cheapest build possible either.We are currently looking to hire an experienced Senior Data Scientist to develop machine learning, data mining, statistical and graph-based algorithms to analyze and make sense of datasets prototype or consider several algorithms and decide upon final model based on suitable performance metrics. Overall my goal is to make this reliable and simple to use. Would it be reasonable to run unraid with a small always-on Windows VM that just performs my backups for me? Is there any strong reason to pick one over the other? My client machines are all on the same local network and are a mixture of Windows and Macs.

While reading here, I found a lot of people using unraid. I don’t love that option but it seemed like the easiest approach. My initial plan was to just follow one of the guides and have it run Windows. Target system: something like NAS killer 4, possibly using parts like those recommended in the current “Array Starter Kit” group buyĬomplicating factor: I use Backblaze personal for off-site backup since they have a very reasonably priced “unlimited” backup plan. Goal: home server that I can use for file storage and basic (1080p) plex streamingĬurrent system: cobbled-together desktop with around 8tb of total storage I’m extremely new to all of this (I’m reading through some of the build guides now but haven’t built anything at all yet) and have a question about off-site backups.
