Backing up a F5-422

[Driften]

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.

I don't know, but I bought an F5-221 to make sure I can store all the data.

Personally, I backup across the network to a second TNAS and then backup the backup to USB attached storage using USB copy.

Before you dismantle your current DAS, see if your TNAS will recognize it as USB connected DAS. If it does, check it USB Copy in the app store does what you need.
