Backup setup and upgrade storage - Enquiries - 03-01-2024
Trying to set up external unit as full backup and another as upgrade storage unit. Im trying to setup the backup first but stuck as how to use dx115 to back up 20tbs Synology NAS d1520+ unit. Im running out of storage in the d1520+ unit and would like to add another NAS external unit to increase storage capacity/. Thank you so much for all your help

Thank you for reaching out. The Synology NAS DS1520+ indeed supports expansion with additional drive units. Specifically, this model can accommodate up to 15 drives in total, including the ones installed in the main unit.
For expanding your storage capacity, you can consider adding two expansion units of DX517, each capable of hosting five additional drives. This configuration will allow you to effectively increase your storage capacity while maintaining compatibility with your DS1520+.
If you have any further questio
