I just bought a DS212 for our small newspaper office. We want to be able to connect an external USB 3.0 drive to the Synology, have the Synology backup to the hard drive throughout the day, and then be able to remove the hard drive at night so we can have an offsite backup incase of a fire or disaster.
I need this to be completely automated though, as the person taking the drive home wouldn't necessarily have admin rights to the server.
Is this possible? I see lots of options for backup, but no one really talks about removing the drive and replacing it every day.
We are replacing an old NAS, and that one has two hard drive bays that allows us to remove a hard drive each night and take it home (we rotate three). I thought I could do that with the hot swap feature on the DS212, but it appears as if that is only for replacing a damaged drive.
Can anyone help?
