Backup Qnap NAS
Hi
I am using a Qnap TurboNas as a NFS datastore for an ESX environment. I would like to backup my Qnap onto a WD LiveBook. Would it be sufficient to backup the datastore folders? Or is it better to use a VMware backup solution such as Veem Backup?

I use VMWare Essentials with 2 Physical nodes (1 socket each). What backup tool would you suggest that is not high priced? Or is there even reliable free products?
I have looked at the Veem Backup & Restore which has a free version. But it does not support scheduled backups.

Thanks for the Unitrends tip! 1 TB is more than enough for my environment. I will test it out.
Will close this question and reopen a new one if I have more specific questions.
