Deon,
     I have a messy but effective backup strategy. lol I heard TrueNAS runs great on QNAP systems. I am still Using the QNAP OS. I do like the container station and it does what i need. My biggest distrust with QNAP was thier security. I was hit with one of the early ransonwares that took advantage of a bug in thier online services. Luckily because i backup.. I was able to eventually recover everything except my old mp3s and a few other things. To improve, i setup an even more robust backup. I usually have at least 2 other copies of all my data now. I wont let that happen again!!!  I am not familiar with restic. Is it good?
