Hello,
I purchased a TerraMaster F4-210 along with 4TB IronWolf HDDs on black Friday to replace my two old WD NASs and an ext. USB HDD with each 2TB.
setup is/ was 2TB prime storage with nightly backup to the other NAS. The USB storage usually stays at my parent's house as an offsite backup. Then very no and then I connect via USB to the prime and after a night a new backup is done.
My goal:
What I would like to do is to have a fast 4TB NAS Storage with a daily Backup and an offsite backup.
What I expected to do:
Use rsync to copy the full content of the first HDD to the second HDD on a daily schedule.
Occasionally insert the third HDD for offsite backup and start the rsync manually. I don't want to hassle with the USB cables and stuff anymore and figured just to smoothly insert the drive would be cool.
I am now in a test phase and so far my experience is quite bad. It seems like it is completely not designed to (shutdown) change any HDD.
The NAS is running TOS 4.2. One it didn't turn off anymore and I needed to pull power.
The NAS crashed a couple of times. Or restarted without nginx and ssh.
Most of the time I needed to start with the initialization, which caused a full reset.
First thing first. Is this even possible to achieve this with the TerraMaster F4-210?
If yes. How.
If not, ok, no problem. Will return all the shiny new stuff.
