Two encrypted, offline WD Elements drives that form the cold tier of the 3-2-1 backup strategy.

Off-site Synology DS723+ NAS with RAID 1 and BTRFS snapshots, replicated continuously via Syncthing as the hot backup tier.

Shared cluster resource that declares the `StorageClass` definitions every PVC in the homelab targets — Longhorn-encrypted, Longhorn-replicated, and NFS-backed variants.

Where live data actually sits in the homelab — the physical disks under it all, how Longhorn carves them into five storage classes with different replica counts and encryption schemes, when an app gets NFS from the TrueNAS instead, and how to pick the right tier for a new workload.

Continuous, peer-to-peer file synchronisation — the engine that keeps the off-site hot-storage tier (Maresa Synology) in step with the primary datasets.

How a byte written to a Longhorn PVC ends up in three places — warm (Restic to Hetzner S3), hot (Syncthing to the off-site Synology), cold (encrypted WD Elements drives) — and what it takes to restore from each.

2U rackmount TrueNAS SCALE NAS built on AM4 with the ASRock Rack X570D4U, LSI 9211-8i HBA, and Intel X520-DA2 10 GbE NIC.
