Full Version: Laptop backup to NAS

Hello,

I've just subscribed to your Youtube channel but for about a year I've watched some of your Youtube videos and found them very useful in helping me to decide which brand to choose for my NAS and hard drives. I've recently bought a Synology DS720+ with a memory upgrade to 6Gb and populated the drive bays with 2 x Western Digital 8Tb Plus drives. I've found that your Youtube channel explains everything so clearly and you guys are doing an excellent job. However, I have a question for you. My main computer (a laptop) is fully backed up each night using Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office to a Backup Volume on the NAS. However, I've noticed that when I check the Backup Volume next morning it shows two Acronis backup files although I've scheduled Acronis to backup once a day at 7:30pm. The two backup files show the same date and time and almost the same data size - example: 14 July at 7:48pm - 50,698,900kb and 50,328,176kb. My question is "Does DSM 7.1 create a second copy of the Acronis backup for the mirrored (2nd) 8Tb Drive?"

Kind regards,
Phil
