DS220J as a back up to the DS220+

[Stolas]

Keeping cost as low as possible. Would the DS220J suffice as the back up target of the DS220+?
Could I use the second lan port on the DS220+ for this purpose?

My current back up target is a WD Mybook.

Avoid connecting it direcly. If you will have them both on the same LAN then just connect it as a proper NAS device and use HyperBackup for example for your backup tasks

I do this as well. My j-series in RAID0.

I do the same thing - ds920+ as primary backing up to an 'offsite' (backyard shop) to my 418play. Works great.

It works but no Btrfs support (bitrot protection) if that’s important to you.
