Those IIRC got stored in the round file, and I bought a big pile of 2T 
gigastones that were good. The raid10 and all it samsung 870 1T drives 
is still working despite 2 of the 4 samsungs reporting lots of errors, 
its been rsynced to one of the gigastones and fstab adjusted to make it 
/home. That had zero effect on the 30 second or more lockup opening a 
gfx file for editing. But I've had 3d printer problems in wholesale 
qty's, so no actual progress on the pi cloned backup server has been 
made.  The 3d printer probs are preventing the launch of a small 
business because of the delays in making product.>
