I have some old PCs and I’d like to use them as servers
for 2 small office networks.
The main goal is to make the solution as cheap as possible.
All of these PCs have CPU ~ 266..300MHz, RAM ~128MB, but with USB 1.0.
I have many IDE CD-ROM drives.So, is this a reliable configuration and the replacement scenario?
I’ll use 2 (not one) CD-ROMs, one per IDE cable,
and put a CD with the same version of Zeroshell.
If one of the drives will be broken, or the CD will be unreadable,
BIOS will try to boot from another CD.I have many Flash-sticks of 128MB each,
so I can plase them somewhere inside of PCs, and use as configurations storage.
However, is there a way to use 2 Flashes as RAID-mirror?
Is there a way to save the config periodically, for example to a FTP site in Internet?If a server will be totally broken, I can always bring another old PC,
and simply use a Flash with current config!What else should I pay my attention, to make the routers more reilable, but very cheap?
You don’t need to periodically backup the ZS. Once after you make a change is enough, unless you want to back up some logs too. For the later you can also send them in a remote syslog to save the usb disk from the writes.
