Backup

[mick4545]

Am I doing it wrong. Networked NAS, 8TB external HDD connected to my MAC.

I currently save all my stuff to the 8tb external, tidy it up, then save to the NAS over my 1gb network using CCC. From what I read online, the recommended way to do it is plug the 8tb into the NAS. then backup the NAS to the 8tb.

I understand USB is much faster, but the initial save is now done, it's just incremental from now on. is it worth changing.

Yes, I'll stick with it for now. Sometime in the future I'll need more space and will buy a RAID enclosure for the 8tb. and run a 16tb RAID 0, then try USB to the NAS.

Thanks for your input.
