Yeah, something like that would work well. You'd have to configure something yourself to automate the back-up. With something like that you'd be completely safe except from a catastrophic loss of your home.

Like with Acronis or Shadow Protect backing up across the network or is there a better solution you were suggesting?

I can't say, I've never looked into those kinds of solutions. If I was doing it myself I'd probably search around for some free linux software, but off-hand I can't suggest anything.

Yeah it's a tough area eventually backing up 8TB of data. For now I can backup using Shadow Protect to an external 2Tb drive but soon that won't do. I'm still torn if I should keep the RAID6 or just switch it over to a RAID0 and have 8TB at my disposal and get a NAS eventually.

Ok do reconfigured my raid to raid 5 and had my 1tb of data on a USB drive. It is taking 8 hours to copy. Does that sound right at all? I came home today to a blue screen and had to start all over. It shouldn't take 8 hours to copy 1tb over usb3 should it?

Well what I am getting at is my RAID 5 set up correctly. I have everything on the volume now and I am moving 36GB of data fromone folder to another and it's taking 20 minutes.
