So as of now, I am sitting at about 46TBs of data for my small home office that I have built-up over about 5 years. These files are sitting on 5 Western Digital HDs ranging from 6 to 12 TBs each - most full. I realize I should have probably seen about backups way before now, but it is what it is.
How would I go about backing up this data? I am quite a novice with most technical things and the idea of setting up a NAS server (something I have just heard about) seems a bit daunting to me. Are there ready-made home servers one can purchase for storage out-of-the-box?
Is there a way I can simply "copy" these drives to a backup drive one by one and then just safely store the backup drives ? For example I was looking at something like this: StarTech Drive Duplicator. Is this method feasible with such larger drives?
Thanks
