This is likely a too late, but reasonable moment to say this server happens to be Windows based.
… for backup reasons.
(The tool used for online backup only allows home versions of Windows and local drives)
One day if I build a new one, I might start with a Linux base, though that kind of requires this one to be on its last leg before I get to that point. It’s running a processor/mobo that are 14ish years old… so maybe I should think more about it.
