Backing up a F5-422
Posted: 17 Sep 2022, 08:34
I just ordered a F5-422 NAS to replace my Drobo 5D DAS which I backup to an original Drobo 4 bay DAS.. I will need something to backup the F5-422 to. Are you guys just buying a second NAS like F5-221 that doesn't need a 10gb port just for backing up the F5-422.
My current main DAS has five 4tb ironwolf drives that I will be filling the F5-422 with. In my current backup 4 bay DAS I have a 6tb, 4tb, 4tb, 3tb and another 3tb sitting around that I could use. I'm only used 7tb of storage right now. I plan on using TRAID on the F5-422 so I might move the backup drives first once everything is copied over dismantle the 5 bay DAS and us it's 4tb's to replace the 3tb's. Then setup the backup solution with 4tb's and 3tb's.
