I have 8 Linux boxes that each have local Timeshift/Lucky backups to a dedicated internal SSD (usually sata 512GB, but sometimes an m.2). Each of these Linux boxes has a weekly or more often an alternating day CRON job that rsync's these local backups to a the DS224+ (2x bonded 1Gbps ports directly to router) on my local LAN (2.5Gbps). The Lucky rsyncs run under 25mins. The TimeShift rsyncs can take an hour or a bit more. Then once per week the DS224+ does a 'Hyper Backup' to an old DS416J out in a detached garage (via buried Cat6 to the 2.5Gbps switch the 416j is plugged into). This weekly backup of the DS224+ has a 4 hour window. Now, finally to the question...
Will replacing the 416j with a QNAP TS-216G-US or some magic to get the 416j to be 2.5Gbps buy me enough time to reduce this 4hour window for the DS224+ backup? Or is this just a waste of money for not much time savings?
Thanx, Skip
