I have a TVS-872XT 80tb in a Raid 5 and want to backup 2 folders equalling 30tb.
I recently bought the TR-004 and put 56TB JBOD in it to handle this task. I did my first back up which took 2.5 days (the TR-004 is on a USB 3.2 v1).
I made the mistake of not turning versioning on for the first job. Do I have to start over to turn versioning on? (delete the existing backup then create a new job with versioning on?)
Otherwise (correct me if I'm wrong) each backup will have to delete the entire drive because there's only room for 1 full backup?
Two questions:
1. How would you backup with my current setup?
2. How should I have done this?

Re: Practical NAS Backup Solution TVS-872XT
with that much data, I would not feel safe with a spanning jbod target (if you need the backup..a drive will fail and your backup is toast)
an 8 bay arm NAS (or low end x86) with 10GbE would probably be better

Thank you for the reply!
I hear that a lot about jbod. I guess my logic was, what are the chances my raid and backup both fail. I’d rather not chance it though.
Do you know if I can backup via thunderbolt to a box like this? https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/thunder ... nderbolt-3
or do you have any recommendations on similar products with 10gb

I have never used TB enclosures..no Idea if they would work directly attached to a QNAP .. I am tempted to say no .. but can say for sure

Re: Practical NAS Backup Solution TVS-872XT
For backups, I prefer standalone solutions. i.e. a standalone device (a second NAS preferably with raid for example) protects you much better than an expansion TR004. If a main component (motherboard, power supply,etc) goes in the Tvs-872 you are left scrambling.
Even an offline backup that could span across external USB drives may provided greater resiliency, but not be my go to choice.
