# TODO
* Disk space budgeting
* Learn how to do multiple shares with many users FreeNAS

# Data organization
* Media (movies, tv shows, music, etc.): Snapshot every hour / day, no offsite backup
* Personal data (photos, documents, whatever): Snapshot every hour / day, offsite backup
* Network drive (AFP/NFS/SMB): Used for time machine, scratch data, and so on and other non-backed up stuff like that. No snapshot, no offsite backup

* Torrent is TDB but a temporary idea is to have inprogress downloads stored in
  the transmission jail dataset and move completed torrents to Media/Torrents
  for user triage.
  The big question is of course if users will do the triage.
