      @Dashrender You're confusing me man. There is an employee in medical records already. Instead of the company being paid to scan the stuff, we would do the initial project and then it would be maintained over time by her. It equates to 5 scans a day. I don't understand where the complication is here?

      5 scans a day? since the beginning? or did it drop to this number recently?

      It's been this the entire time. The issue is they are charging for one huge project a year, an external hard drive and some cloud storage. 9k+ a year.

        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

                              So it's like HP vs. Canon. Got it.
