I have my NAS configured into 2TB NFS volumes, each which is mirrored.
Every now and then I backup each of these 2TB volumes onto a separate external USB disk, then keep those in a small fire safe.
The NAS contains real data, movies, music, virtual machines and backups of PC's.
Every week or so I backup the important data onto an external drive via a Windows PC by running a DOS batch script. This keeps four copies.
Every year I backup the important data and put a copy on the NAS.Comment

Anyone want to buy a Microserver on the cheap?Comment

Resurrecting an old(ish) thread..
Looking at replacing my ageing NetGear ReadyNas Duo - Currently one of the variants of the QNAP TS-251 series (possibly the + or A models) look promising.
Anyone here have any experience with them?
Data storage (obviously) and media streaming are the two main requirements although I'm intrigued by their potential for VM hosting.Do what thou wiltComment

When people talk about VM hosting, is that with comms just over Gigabit, or do they support suberfast connectivity if you do a direct connection via USB3 or something?
Is VM use basically just RDP, if so obviously you don't need a fast connection.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
