Hello and thank you for your kind words! Your backup strategy seems well thought out and suitable for your needs. Setting up a 4-bay NAS like the DS423 with an SHR pool in BTRFS and enabling snapshot replication for the first three drives is a good approach to safeguard your data. Keeping the fourth drive as a separate pool exclusively for backup purposes is a wise decision. Adding a USB drive for backup and enabling an old PC with Synology Drive sync for a third backup copy will provide additional redundancy and data protection. As your data grows, having a reliable backup strategy is crucial, and this setup should serve you well.
Given your budget and requirements, the DS423 should be sufficient for your needs. However, if you find the need for extras like bare metal backup via the Active Backup for Business package, you may consider upgrading to a plus series NAS model for added features and performance. Considering your budget and future data growth, this setup should be well-suited for your backup requirements.
