Backing up my NAS DS1522+

[Enquiries]

Hi,

I have a Synology DS1522+ with a 4TB USB drive plugged into it. The NAS backups up daily to that drive. That 4TB drive has now died and I want to add more drives to the my NAS. This means the 4TB is large enough either. I have 5x 3TB drives left over from Drobo. Is there a Synology NAS that I can plug into the 1522+ and use as a backup. I would also be happy to do it over the network.

Thanks for the help.

Best wishes

Michael

With the 3TB drives you have from Dropbox, you can plug them into your new NAS and use them as backups for your DS1522+. Several drive configuration options can help optimize the capacity and performance of your NAS.
Good luck, hope this answer is helpful to you!

Thanks for reaching out! You have a couple of great options for setting up backups with your DS1522+:

Use Any NAS for Network Backup:
Your DS1522+ can back up to any NAS over the network using rsync or SMB. This means you’re not limited to Synology and can use any NAS that supports these protocols as a backup destination.

Stick with the Synology Ecosystem:
If you prefer to keep everything within Synology’s ecosystem for seamless integration, you can pick up a value-series Synology NAS like the DS220j or DS423+. These models are budget-friendly and integrate perfectly with Hyper Backup, making backups easy to set up and manage.

Both approaches allow you to make use of your 5x 3TB drives in a RAID configuration for redundancy, ensuring your data is protected.
