QuTS hero h6.0.0.3459 build 20260409 Release Candidate | Release Notes | QNAP

anyone running this in production environment? Not sure how comfortable I am moving from 5.2.x to 6.0 for my production environment, especially since you cannot down grade. I dont have a unit to test so its all or nothing.

I’m not moving now or anytime soon. I use iDrive for backup and QNAP bowed to iDrive’s pressure and removed support for the app. Now in order to backup to iDrive you have to use their NAS backup solution through HBS. They charge like 10X the price for this.
