OpenMediaVault 6

IN BRIEF

OpenMediaVault is a specialised Debian-based distro to build and administer NAS devices. It can easily be scaled from serving a single user to a small office. The distro has modest hardware requirements and supports virtually all the popular features you’ll need in a NAS, which are accessed via an intuitive, browser-based interface.

SPECS

CPU: Any dual-core processor

Memory: 1GB

HDD: 4GB

Build: x86-64, ARM

Nobody who’s ever lost data will argue about the usefulness of a backup, and anyone who’s ever kept one will know the importance of good backup software. Your distro probably ships with one, and it does a good job of retaining copies of your important files. But if you need more protection for your data than just duplicating it, you need to invest in a dedicated network-attached storage (NAS) device.
