Recommendation for backup NAS for a TVS-H874

English Backup and data protection

Having a backup NAS is wonderful. I would definitely get one that can support Hero if you plan on running Hero. And get enough drives that you have the same capacity. Then you can do snapshot vaulting.

I looked at this but it has been a while since I looked at memory and hard drives. Built two high-end PC’s last year and I guess glad I did it then.

Anyway, probably cannot quite justify the setup you suggested based on what I see. Can I still use QNAP tools to do 1 way hybrid sync (copy) from QuTS to QTS NAS backup?

The minimum configuration I could come up with for the backup is:

TS-463 8GB

2 nvme os drives 500gb

4 -12TB regular ironwolf

QXG-10G1T 10GB card

Did I miss something or is there another unit since I am going in this direction?

Now if something pops up remanufactured or something that might change my mind. Have no issue with that but didnt see anything.

I am a little concerned about one more device to maintain etc. but that is the tradeoff vs. just using an ext drive. For example still need to update my TS-h874 to firmware 3410 which is being offered at login and now 3451 is out.

Thanks

That is only a QTS-Update (QTS 5.2.9.3451)

For QuTShero is the lastest version h5.2.9.3410.

Or you must change to QuTShero h5.3.x or QuTShero 6.0 beta

I think you should buy more RAM for your new TS-464.

My TS-264 with QTS 5.2.x work fine with 40 GB RAM.

Ahh, got it.
I am on Quts hero. I know about QuTShero 6.0 beta and don’t want to go there. But what is the QuTShero h5.3.x branch? I just want stable…

I bet your unit runs well with 40GB😀! I am just trying to get basic backup functionality and near 10Gbps speeds. If I am just getting more memory to run QuTS Hero not seeing the advantage in my use case.

Does hybrid sync 1 way copy work if the two NAS units are on different versions of firmware and one is QuTS and the other is QTS?

Thanks

I use QuTShero 5.2.9.x on my TVS-h674.

QuTShero 5.3.x is only for set up a high-availability environment with two QNAP NAS.

I have no problem with hbs3 backup jobs between QuTShero and QTS. I use this help

Thanks but wow. So if my main NAS is on QuTS and my backup NAS is on QTS I can’t just run hybrid sync to backup? I have to do all this to set permissions correctly?

I think the users are enough.

I don’t use “Advanced Permissions”, “AD”, …

You must test it.

Yes. You can use HBS to back up a hero NAS to a QTS NAS. Not a problem. I was doing that from my TS-873A to my TS-451 until I got my TVS-672XT.
