I need to backup data on my nas (call it NAS1) to 2 different remote nas boxes (call them NAS2 & NAS3) while trying to minimize the amount of data I'm transferring across the remote connection. I have successfully established an encrypted hyper backup (call it Full.hbk) between NAS1 and NAS2. I am confident I can establish a second similar backup between NAS1 and NAS3, but that would require twice as much data to be transferred across the remote connection.
NAS2 and NAS3 are on the same LAN, so I'm wondering if I can just back up the Full.hbk vault from NAS2 to NAS3 (call it Dup.hbk). My thought process is that if I needed to restore Full.hbk from NAS3 onto NAS1 it would just be a "2-step" restore (restore Dup.hbk then restore Full.hbk). I'm also assuming that even though Dup.hbk would have it's own unique config, versioning, and encryption it wouldn't impact the config, versioning, encryption for Full.hbk.
I'm pretty sure this is possible, but is it a good idea? Is anyone doing it this way? Or is there a better way to accomplish my goal?
