Friends I need some help: I use a Mac, and I have about 5 TB of data from my research that I need to keep backed up In addition, I keep about 3TB of music, plus another 5-10TB of photos and this is expected to grow for reasons I've mentioned before, haha I also keep two Time Machine backups, and each is about 8-10 TB I run a standard 1 Gb starhub lan system using Google hubs. I've been using standalone External Hard Disks as well as a Drobo Direct Access Drive system to do my backups. But Drobo seems to be out of business, and the single hard disks do die - one did recently.. I see a few people using qnap and synology My Drobo has a feature where it just does it's thing... if any hard disks die, you pull it out, replace it and the Drobo will add the new hard disk to the entire backup system. I don't need to do anything.. I would like that. Plus I can take the discs and use them in another Drobo.. iCloud is too expensive and I think too slow for such large backups, plus I'm rather suspicious of keeping my precious data online only.. I'm a Macuser, aka computer idiot... My question is, which backup solution suits me best? - more single hard disks - DAS - NAS - others Will appreciate brands, costs and also where to go get them, thanks very much

Any users here? Any one knows why i am unable to see a external HDD connected to the NAS using USB on the back in the file station? I am able to see that a external HDD is mounted on the top right portion of the DSM interface.
