Hi!
I've got an Asustor NAS which I'm really happy with, and use it to use my TV shows, films, but also hold some backups of my MP3 collection, home movies (fnar) and photos (further fnar).
I have cloud backups of my mp3s, home movies and photos as well as a copy on my PC and a copy on an unplugged external HDD, so they're also on my NAS just as an extra backup really.
My problem lies with my TV shows and films. My NAS currently has 1 single 10TB Seagate Ironwolf drive, and a 3TB external HDD connected to it via USB, which does nightly backups. The 3TB external HDD has now reached capacity, and I need another solution. The data I want backing up on my NAS is at 3.6TB and will continue to grow.
I've got a cloud backup of the NAS on iDrive as I have a 10TB data allowance on there, but am not sure how to do a local backup of a 10TB hard disk.
I investigated getting another 10TB Ironwolf disk, slotting it in to my NAS and using RAID 1, but as was eloquently pointed out to me in another thread, that doesn't really protect you from a great deal other than just disk redundancy.
Option 1) Buy a 10TB Hard Disk, stick it in an external enclosure, plug in to NAS via USB, do nightly backups
Option 2) Buy another NAS and use that for backups (maximum Xzibit points here. yo dawg)
Option 3) Ocuk give me an excellent suggestion which I execute accordingly.
Cheers!
