trying to backup that whole backup from my NAS to a remote location (cloud at this point). That brings us up to the start of my original post. I also used backup for business to do a bare metal backup of my PC and data drives to my NAS (except the last data drive as it's like 5TB itself). So at this point I'm starting to use a true backup program (testing out ashampoo and macrium) making separate data backups for my various segments of data all backing up to one of the 16TB EXOS in my bay (those also run cool, great little unit, very happy with it). The new externals also run much cooler, better ventilation for sure (the old ones run in the mid 40s, new ones low 30s). So I got the NAS and the Sabrent bay, and added the two 16TB externals to eventually replace the others (free up usb ports too). I was running like this for a while, but I also leave my computer on 24/7 and live in the south, so those externals tend to run a little warm. My two data drives backup up to my first 8TB external, and my third data drive (all critical data) goes to my second 8TB drive.Īnd I've had one failure in the last 10 years and between BB and code42, I pretty much had everything. It was really simple as my system drive backups up to my external 6TB drive (and yes it pulled some stuff from the data drives as well as I put my music, and document folders on them). My system has a system drive, two data drives (just two partitions separated for organization sake), and a third data drive. both backblaze and code 42 backing up system and data disks.Synology 1621+ 35T total storage capacity.Seagate External drives: two 16TB, two 8TB, one 6TB.Sabrent bay with 5 HD slots (currently two EXOS X18 16TB drives and one 8TB).There are still things I'd like to migrate to the NAS primarily for network access. But now I'm thinking, use the NAS as one backup source (I'd still like to backup the NAS) and stick with my local options. Little did I know how difficult that is, between the non NAS friendly cloud platforms (or extra cost) and the fact my local storage is all geared for my PC. Originally I was thinking I'd move my data to my NAS (figuring one drive fault protection was better than none) and back that up to the cloud and locally. Well I'm still working my way through things.
