Fileserver for backups etc. and external acces

[XHD600X]

Hi everyone,

 

Currently I have an AMD phenom II 1090t machine running with freenas as our backup server. I am looking for an upgrade, but I'm not that big into servers etc. mainly the software is the "problem".

What I'm looking for:

- Able to make weekly backups of 6 computers

- able to make backups of 4 phones (Android) and one iPad Pro

- Accesible from outside of the home network (I travel alot, and I want to be able to acces my files)

- personal file storage (speed isn't that important)

 

Hardware:

something quiet, was looking at building a Ryzen 3200G system with a raid and network card and 16gigs of ram.

 

Is there anything available that can do this (fairly noob friendly, but I don't mind getting into it)

 

thanks in advance

 

Current machine specs:

AMD Phenom II 1090T

8 gigabyte of DDR3 ram

500gb boot SSD

4tb in Raid-Z2

HD7770 gpu

The 1090T should be more than cable of handling that workload. No need to touch hardware. As far as software, I'm not sure. I use samba for my local network shares.

As far as I know, you cannot backup iOS devices directly to your own Nas unless you use iTunes

It's more out of an noise / power consumption standpoint. Since the 3200G is a way cooler and more efficient chip than the 1090t. I'll look into Samba!

Damn, that's a shame. had hoped there was a way to back up those too.
