Connecting one UPS to multiple NAS

English General
1

Hello,

first off, excuses for asking a question which must have been asked before. I came here after not using this forum for a long time and searched but did not find the topic.

I have to different QNAP NAS, one for continuous use, one for Backup of the first. The second one has decided to ‘quit’ on me, unsure why (for the moment). I tend to purchase a new one, but want to make sure that loss of power is not the reason for me loosing the old NAS.
I have an UPS connected, but it informs only one of the devices. There were some power losses in the past, and the second NAS does not get that information.
Is there a possibility to inform two devices at the same time, without the need of additional devices like an R-Pi or something?

Thanks in advance.
Should this topic have a tread here already, please give me a link, so I can continu my search there. I would rather have a answer before I decide on which second NAS I purchase.

Looks like a found the answer to my question. I the latest version of my firmwar for my main NAS the Option to forward the message of power loss, is available. So I will be able to use this.

Thanks for reading, no answer necessary.

Yes. As you said the NAS can forward the message to other NAS.

And I personally use that to shutdown my PC as well by winnut-client.
