Hi r/photography,
I am upgrading my backup system after a drive failure.
About 2To of data, photography mostly and personal files. Hobbyist.
Up to now, I had two hard drives at home: one working drive synced to Onedrive, the other offline used as a backup.
My working drive failed. I am replacing it by a 4to ssd.
I would like to replace the backup drive by a simple NAS, 4to, and to put it offsite at my parents' place. Thinking of the Synology DS120j.
My question is how to secure a NAS backup against infection?
Let's say my system gets infected and the infection is passed to my Onedrive, how can I prevent this infection to reach the NAS? Is a solution to delay the backup, like with a weekly interval? Does not seem fail proof to me.
Thanks in advance
I am not getting viruses. It's a precaution the same as why it is recommended to get a drive offsite: An unlikely event such as fire or theft etc. Just trying to do it right.
