New backup server just dropped!
This server is awfully slow, and the mdraid setup is awfully slow, and I doubt that this will be a good experience, but we now have a backup server again?

Tried Disko and nixos-anywhere
Tried using mdraid
Found that md is ancient and bad
Found that disko is 100% extra steps, and a lot more complicated and noisy than just formatting your disks yourself
Found that systemd-boot doesn't support mdraid
Found that we probably don't need to mirror the boot partition :)
Found that old hardware is slow
Found that old hardware can have poor support for iPXE with UEFI, and might do weird BIOS stuff on you when you least expect it
Reaffirmed that zfs is love

Current disk layout:

mdraid for boot/root disk
- 4TB WD Red with 500MiB ESP with systemd-boot, Remaining mdraid - Old?
- 4TB WD Red with 500MiB Unused partition, Remaining mdraid - Old?
zfs pool "tank" for the actual backup data
- 8TB Toshiba MG08 - New
- 8TB Exos 7E10 - New

TODO:

Document the death of Toriel on the wiki
Document Bakke on the wiki
- ... describing the poco loco disk layout
Start backing stuff up
- Restic? Borg? Rsync?
- Make backup retention policy and zfs snapshot system
- Document backup procedures

Plz squash when merging.
