Hello and good day,
First, thank you for all the great content you’ve created, I watched a ton of your videos and learned a lot.
I am searching for the best backup strategy within budget.
Main goal is to preserve all data at any cost.
Some considerations:
My plan is to get a 4 bays NAS, maybe the DS423, the ARM one, yes ARM.
Currently offsite backups are off the table since my internet upload speed is very slow.
My current data to be backed up is about 300GB and growing fast, mostly photos and videos.
I am aware of the 3-2-1backup strategy, and I am thinking to populate the 4 bay NAS as follow:
• Fill out drive 1, 2 and 3 in a SHR pool with BTRFS and enable snapshot replication.
• Leave the 4th drive as a separate pool exclusively for backup.
• Add a USB drive for backup.
• Enable an old PC with Synology Drive sync one way to act as a third backup copy.
I would appreciate your expert toughs on this one, cheers.
