Backing up my NAS DS1522+

[Enquiries]

Hi,

I have a Synology DS1522+ with a 4TB USB drive plugged into it. The NAS backups up daily to that drive. That 4TB drive has now died and I want to add more drives to the my NAS. This means the 4TB is large enough either. I have 5x 3TB drives left over from Drobo. Is there a Synology NAS that I can plug into the 1522+ and use as a backup. I would also be happy to do it over the network.

Thanks for the help.

Best wishes

Michael

Thanks for reaching out! You have a couple of great options for setting up backups with your DS1522+:

Use Any NAS for Network Backup:
Your DS1522+ can back up to any NAS over the network using rsync or SMB. This means you’re not limited to Synology and can use any NAS that supports these protocols as a backup destination.

Stick with the Synology Ecosystem:
If you prefer to keep everything within Synology’s ecosystem for seamless integration, you can pick up a value-series Synology NAS like the DS220j or DS423+. These models are budget-friendly and integrate perfectly with Hyper Backup, making backups easy to set up and manage.

Both approaches allow you to make use of your 5x 3TB drives in a RAID configuration for redundancy, ensuring your data is protected.
