    If you were able to back up the BTRFS snapshots to your Duo, each snapshot would take the same amount of storage as the original share.  There simply isn't enough space to do this.

     

    So yes, your understanding is correct.  

     

    The new ReadyDR backup method will allow snapshot backup, but that will require you to use two business class OS 6 NAS.  That's not available yet (it is a 6.6.0 feature, currently in beta).
