Backup Solution

[cpayne]

Hi, I currently have a 12 bay (3.5) dell R720xd server that has been running unRAID fantastically with no complaints. On the other hand, I have an on-site synology nas that I am using as an on-site backup (also have off-site cloud backup) but recently it has been experiencing random shutdowns and sometimes wont power on unless I unplug and then plug it back in a couple times. I believe its time to replace it... On a seperate note, I just ordered a dell md1200 last week to connect it to my server for additional storage, with the recent update that added multiple pools, it got me wondering, for an on-site backup, would it be a bad idea if I create a new pool of 4 drives on the new DAS and set it up as my local backup location instead of purchasing a new synology/qnap?

 

Thanks.

I'm looking for a similar thing too (backup my unraid shares to another on-site NAS) ans have the ability to mirror one way to the second NAS (not an actual sync then).
The purpose of this is to have a exact copy of the first NAS to the other one (not looking for an image)... Ideally based on the path of my network (\\nas1\folder\*.* -> \\nas2\folder\*.*).

Tried 2 sync/back docker script but they only allowed from within the NAS... that's no useful for me.
