Dedicated physical HDD for JUST snapshots on the same NAS

Post by KAOS247 »

Hi,

Wanted to know if it was possible to configure the snapshots from multiple different volumes on the SAME QNAP NAS unit to ALL be stored on a separate dedicated physical hdd in one of nas bays rather than the snap shots being stored on the same volumes...

I did a little digging around and saw that you are able replicate snapshots to a ANOTHER QNAP NAS but couldn't seem to find any info on do this on the same nas to a different HDD from the source. https://www.qnap.com/en-uk/how-to/tutor ... ot-replica

Is what I'm trying to do possible?... as from the little understanding I have on snapshots and backups it seems to be a somewhat semi duplicate task, my thoughts are, by being able to store snapshots on a seperate drive would provide somewhat of a "hybrid" local backup solution too.

Any advice/knowledge share is appreciated.

Many thanks
