Backing up NAS 516 to a NAS Pro 6 Best Settings
Looking for some advise. I have both a NAS 516 and a NAS Pro. I have multiple shares allocated on the NAS 516 as my everyday use storage vault. I am looking for the best method to back up...

Personally I use a backup job per share, and they run daily. Shares are created on the backup NAS in the usual way. The backups are incremental rsync.
The OS6 destination systems have snapshots enabled, so it is possible to roll back to an older version. So this would be one benefit of migrating your pro to OS6.
If you have user accounts set up, it is best to match the user UIDs and the group GIDs.
