RE: Heatwave no problem for BitScope Blade and Raspberry Pi !

I was a little concerned with the Blade boards, but you have the right setup with the RPi boards open to the air for cooling.

Did you happen to capture any CPU temperature data during the time they were exposed to the warm air conditions?

I find it encouraging that the RPI boards continued to function under the extreme temperatures.

Sorry about your problems ........ but:

If those servers are as mucky inside as they are outside I'm not surprised the poor things died.

Buy a (decent) NAS box and some backup software - and make sure you run it with hard disk redundancy.

It doesn't make sense to run your backup on anything other than a well proven system - if it's not your real business (to make backup systems) you'll never get round to testing it properly.

And one more thing while I'm handing out good advice [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-8a039eaa-b0bb-46eb-a60d-f7f192e53e09/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16] - don't count on how good stuff is over temperature until you've tested it in a statistically significant way (or seen the data from the supplier).
