Hello all,
Just about done setting up my DS220J, looking at back up options and have a couple questions. I'll ask the questions and put my situation below in case it helps with advice.
If I use Hyper-backup to USB Single-Version to backup entire DS220J. Travel for 3 months with the USB drive. (it would be my off site backup) Then come back to the NAS.
1. Will Hyper-backup submit any changes to the NAS (if any were made) or is it a one way backup and the next back up overwrites everything on the USB?
2. Can I add files to the USB while travelling? For example I would be copying Photos and Videos on the trip as a backup. Can it just be to a new folder like Summer 2021?
3. Is it safe to access the data on the USB, like watch a movie look at photos? If I edit a file or delete it are those changes updated to the DS220J when I return and connect?
The NAS is a DS220J with (1) WD Red 12TB NAS Internal Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, CMR, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD120EFAX. We are using 6.5TB of it.
It is on a home network used by my wife and I only. All of our data except Movies is backed up to OneDrive. After I add the USB everything will be in at least 3 locations.
We have Apple TV at home and use InFuse if we want to watch video or movies off the DS220J.
We take a lot of pictures and video along with Drone video in Alaska when we travel.
When we travel, the DS220J will stay at home, either on syncing with OneDrive or much more likely off in our safe.
The USB I am looking at is WD Black 12TB D10 Game Drive for Xbox One External Hard Drive 7200 RPM WDBA5E0120HBKNESN, it seems fast and robust. (it works with PC)
The boat we travel on has a NUC that plays movies and we can use to review our new Photos and Videos. It has a 5TB drive that has our movies etc. It also syncs with OneDrive but we rarely have good internet so we need to have multiple backups on the boat, in other words we leave with OneDrive up to date. All our data with us, but cannot update the DS220J until we return from the trip.
Any suggestions that come to mind?
Thank you all for all the great information on this site, I have read all I can, and appreciate you all very much!
