cheers for all the options.
I taken Time machine backup for now and will try out the rsync type products.
Meanwhile the power switch on my 8yr old Synology NAS is faulty which means if it powers down, I might not be able to get it back up again and Synology customer services says they don't have the parts.
I have a unused HP Microserver Gen8 so was wondering what OS is best?. Primary uses are storage and media server.
Also can anyone recommend a good Desktop HDD enclosure that can handle 6TB drives?
cheersComment

We've tried FreeNAS at current clientco, on an IBM X3550M5 with 16 1TB disks, it lost the ZFS mount every single day, tried a dozen installs, in the end just stuck WSS 2012 on it and it's been rock solid even though it's Windows.
Check the forums re: FreeNAS, we weren't the only folks with the same issue, don't think it likes USB installs but neither does WSS, had to waste two 1TB disks....Comment

As I've said before in here look at unraid. Offers support for a single / dual disk failure (from 6.2 onwards) and using docker containers allows you to add any app you could possibly want.
It also supports Kvm virtual machinesmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I am planing on moving my plex server (currently running on a mac mini) to the NAS .... which I guess means I will have to run off an SSD?
so freeNAS and unraid to look at then.Comment
