It’s getting time to retire the old Apple Airport Time Capsule, and I’m looking recommendations on easy-to-use replacements. This would be used for general files and automatic laptop backups.
Requirements:
- At least 2TB
- Capable of archiving to an offline disk used as an off-site backup
- Easy enough for my parents to use
- Not crazy expensive if possible
I’ve never used a dedicated NAS, so I’m humbly seeking the opinions of the Lemmy experts. Thank you!
Yeah, this all depends on how sure OP is in their requirements.
It works well as a (slow) Time Machine server but I did have to add a weekly reboot out flat it would get stuck.
But after buying my requirements changed and it couldn’t evolve to meet them, which is why I would warn against if there’s any chance you want to run out of the box services.
