NAS as a Backup Repository
LockedI am using Solarwinds MSP Backup for online and local backups for a couple of small clients. They are backing up less than 2 TB each. One client has no local backup (LocalSpeedVault) and the other already had a 4 TB external hard drive. I am trying to decide on keeping the external hard drive or moving to a NAS, like Synology, with RAID 10. The main concern about the NAS is that I will not be using all its features, only as a repository to store the backup files created by Solarwinds MSP Backup. Each client has one physical Windows server, a Hyper-V host with a couple of guests–domain controller, WSUS, application server.
Does anyone have any suggestions on using a NAS or DAS as a backup repository only, using third party software to perform the backups?
