Working together with Ugreen NAS?

[Lucky Ed]

Hi. 

I have a small Ugreen NAS that I bought in November, so I could get off the cloud.

Now, I got my hands on some hardware to make a DIY-NAS, I would like to have off-site, in case of catastrophic failure off the Ugreen hardware. I would like to use Hex for this.

Would it be possible for those two to work "together", so one backs up off the other, or would I have to set it up so my phone/PC backs up individually to each device? 

The plan is to eventually run HEX OS on both, but as long as it is in early access, and probably a while after 1,0, I want my data on a "stable" OS  (no offence meant),

I never buy first edition of anything, so I love your lifetime offer  

Best regards, and thank you for making a cool product, with good ethics and morals.  I love it!

Hi @Lucky Ed

You say that you plan to run HexOS on both NAS' in the future, but what would you like to begin with?

You want to build a DIY-NAS with HexOS on it and put that off site as a backup for your UGREEN NAS?

If that's the case then you can do that through TrueNAS which is the underlying OS in HexOS: https://forums.truenas.com/t/rsync-pull-from-ugreen-nas/59916.
So far I only think HexOS will support Buddy Backup (HexOS to HexOS), that's why you will need to set this up in TrueNAS unless you get HexOS on both machines.

I hope this helps. Otherwise feel free to clarify your question 😊
