Do you have an offsite backup of your backup?

Don't make fun of it; I say it is not a question of being paranoid, but more of asking yourself if you are paranoid enough.
Chances are, you're not. That is how the restore fails, and how companies can end

My existing NAS is getting a bit full (<400GB left on a RAID 5 4*1TB setup) and being a pack rat I don't want to throw anything away.
So I just bought a shiny new 16TB (RAID 5 4*4TB) NAS. 
Should last me a few years!
And soon will come the fun: transfer from old to new...

Curious, what OS you running/or will run on your NAS?

It's a built up and populated unit from Seagate, so I'd assume one of the Linux distros. To be honest, I'm not planning on touching the software - if I have to it's because something has gone very wrong!

Gotcha!
My son brought home a new Seagate 2TB external network drive[^] and tossed it on my desk a month or so ago. I used it for about a week a tossed it in the drawer, only because I don't have a door to prop open.
Just because it has a Seagate label affixed doesn't mean it's a quality product and will work as expected.

This is a STBP1600200[^] and most of the negative comments I've seen have been about the backup software. I have my own, so I'm not too worried about that. The drives are Barracuda, which I've had good success with before in the 1TB versions.
And I've had 2TB and 4TB Seagate USB drives for a couple of years with no problems whatsoever.
At that price it's cheaper than buying the drives alone!

Looks like a nice unit, but only 4 bays and already filled so not expandable. 16TB should last you a while though unless you have a lot of videos, photos, music, etc..
Seagate makes a good product and the backup software they use is memeo and the lite version or whatever they call it is really lame, haven't tried the premium version but if it's anything like the lite it would suck also.
I thought the same thing with my 2TB GoFlex unit but Acronis True Image 2015 not only wouldn't it back up to the device, even though it supposedly supported the device it had trouble backing up to any device. Long story, another post a couple of weeks ago where I whined about it sucking so bad.

That's fine - my existing NAS is only four bays and it's full as well.
By the time I run out of space in the new one, it's going to be cheaper to replace it than buy more disks anyway - especially as the disks I could buy then will probably be about the same age as the ones in the new one now!
Yeah, finding good backup software is a PITA! I use NTI software which is pretty bad, but I've got used to it and work round it's little failings...hopefully I won't have to change my backup scheme with the new box, since it just uses the NAS as a set of Windows virtual disks via the LAN.

I agree 16TB should last a while.
And I also agree about the backup software, they all promise the moon and you end up with Limburger. While doing my research for an Acronis replacement was Shadow Protect[^], it is touted as "the" backup utility to own. I have it on a Windows 10 VM and have done some backups with it but no restore and I can say I like it a lot but at present can't justify the $100 so for the time being am using True Image 2013 which was the last usable/reliable version they produced.

Yeah I know that's why I went to an older version of Acronis, I've done partial and complete backups with it and it works. (At least up to TI 2013)
