Duo V2 to NV+ upgrade
Hi, I have a Duo v2 which is quickly running out of space (2x2TB drives). I know I can upgrade to 3TB drives, but I was looking at getting an NV+ v2, so it gives me a lot more room for expansion. ...
If these are mostly media files it would take very close to 2 TBs. If a file already contains compressed data (which is the case with video) then compressing the archive doesn't help very much.
Most of us are copying the files though, not storing the backup as single archive file. You can do this fairly easily with a USB drive. If you have a desktop PC, you could also install an internal drive there that has the capacity.
Though backup costs some extra money for storage (and takes some effort to set up), RAID arrays do fail in ways that lose data. So you should back the NAS up.
