Adding a second NAS at a different location for backup purposes can indeed enhance your backup experience and provide greater peace of mind. By setting up a remote backup solution, you ensure that your data remains safe even in the event of a disaster affecting your primary location. In terms of configuration, you have several options. One approach is to set up a backup task using Synology's built-in HyperBackup or Snapshot Replication features to replicate data from your DSM923+ to the secondary NAS. Alternatively, you can use a simpler NAS with a single large capacity drive, such as a 16 TB drive, for basic backup purposes. This setup would provide a straightforward and cost-effective solution, although it may lack some of the advanced features available on more powerful NAS units. Ultimately, the best configuration depends on your specific backup needs, budget, and preferences.
