Backup

RAID

A big performance increase for RAID5 systems: use 'noatime' in fstab.
or:
mount / -o remount,noatime

This way every read does not result in an update of the 'access-time' 
which is a write as well.

SATA

Harddisk

Solid-State Disk

Wear out after 1,000 to 10,000 write cycles for MLC, up to 100,000 write cycles for SLC.

NTFS

Samba

Synchronisation

Looks good

GoodSync

Unison

run unison in batch-mode (pref-file: batch = true) and there will be no questions and auto-sync all updates and skip all conflicts. When minimum one conflict is seen, exit code is non-zero and messages are sent to stderr (crontab would pick that up and sent email)

Rsync

Robocopy
