I have plenty of storage available - 18TB (2, 4, 4, 8 WD Red EFRX drives). If answer to 1 is yes, is my 9 year old server up to the task? I know I will have to upgrade the memory to at least 8GB. Is FreeNAS a good choice for the use case described above?Ģ. I would also backup less frequently to Backblaze's B2.ġ. Current thinking is I would run Veeam Windows agent on my Win 10 PC and backup the data (daily) and image (as required) to the NAS.

I now only have one PC on the network and will use the NAS almost exclusively for backing up my 2+ TB of data, mostly photos and videos I shoot. It occurred to me that perhaps something like FreeNAS (TrueNAS core) might work for me in my original server hardware. To that end I purchased a Synology DS418play with high expectations that it would fill the bill, but I have had problems with the unit and it is now being sent back. It worked so well that I wish there was WHS 2020 because I am in search of a suitable replacement. Over the ensuing years it worked as expected and required very little care and feeding.

This was used with WHS 2011, primarily to backup my small network of 3 PCs. Windows Home Server 2011, code named Vail, is a home server operating system by Microsoft designed for small office/home offices and homes with multiple.

About 9 years ago I finished my first ever server build with help from STH ( build post here).
