My Mom broke her iPhone 11 recently, my last manual iTunes backup was from 2020. She doesn't want her stuff on the cloud. We were able to get the phone repaired and perform an itunes backup. This started my quest to locate a NAS that would be capable of handling simple automated backups. The only youtube videos relating to backing up an iPhone to a NAS were for Synology. I'd prefer an itunes quality disk image backup solution if possible but the most important data i'd like backed up are: pics, vids, contacts/calendars, texts.
Due to the cost of NAS devices, it doesn't make sense to me to spend $500 (including drives) on the cheapest NAS just to back up a handful of my families phones. I'd rather spend a bit more for increased capabilities & longevity. I work as a computer repair tech. Prefer 4-bay, was looking at TS-464 or DS423+. Use for file storage/backup, video storage (like plex).
