I just ordered 5 new Seagate Ironwolf disks, but I don't plan to put those in the QNAP but 4 for the for the TrueNAS built and 1 in my desktop to backup everything that I have left, in 1 new BKP disk until the TrueNAS is functional. I managed to save some data lost due to ransomware on the QNAP, from backup up in Google Drive & Photos and on external disks). In the QNAP I have 1 disk dead since last week, and I more will die soon (all purchased 7 years ago) I want to have the NAS synced with another NAS through internet in another location)
(Second step: I plan to use the NAS for streaming to the cloud to replace, by this summer, my Google Photos and Drive services, meaning that I would like to the NAS to be synced to my Android phone's Photos and Videos. + monthly backup process on an external disk Videos are streamed to the PCs and TV on the local network. It's time that I learn to properly setup and use my NAS and increase security.įirst step: Local only NAS for Photos, Videos and documents. I used a NETGEAR 2 bay 10 years ago (still have it for some backups) and since 7 years ago a QNAP TS-451 (with 4 WDRed4TB disks) that served me well, until I've been attacked by 2 ransomware attack, and lost more that I would have liked.
