I'm presently running 13x16TB Seagate EXOS X16 disks in a 12 disk SHR2 array with 1 spare hot swap disk on an Asus Pro WS W680-ACE IPMI system running as Xpenology NAS. What would be involved in moving to HexOS. Presumably I'd need to 'blow away the existing SHR2? I do have another System with my Movies, TV, Photos, etc, on it to fall back to, if necessary? How would HexOS otherwise accomplish the task?
Also, what software options are 1) presently available; and 2) envisioned to accomplish tasks like Advanced Backup for Business and Hyper Backup; both of which, I believe, deduplicate data as they consolidate their backup data to reduce the size of backup storage.
Finally, I am also currently deduplicating across all my HDDs with, I believe, about 10TB saved by this feature. Storage is presently at 51% capacity. Would that pose problems for a move from the existing SHR2 to ZFS? Would I be better creating a number of storage pools/volumes - what are the implications for disk usage given more pools, each requiring 2 disk redundancy?
