Core Disaster Recovery Tool to Enhance Data Security of TNAS Devices

TerraMaster, a professional brand dedicated to providing innovative storage products for homes and businesses, recently released the most powerful 4bay NAS F4-424 Pro and the latest version of Duple Backup, a professional disaster recovery tool developed specifically for home and business users

With Duple Backup, users can back up important volumes, folders or iSCSI LUNs in TNAS to multiple destinations, such as other TNAS, file servers and cloud disks to prevent data loss. When a device failure occurs, it can even quickly restore the lost data. 

Duple Backup Key Features

Regular Backup

Regularly back up important data within TNAS and store it in a safe location to prevent data loss or damage so that it can be restored when needed.

Multiple Backup Destinations

Whether you need to back up TNAS data to other local TNAS devices or file servers, or want to store data on a remote Rsync or WebDAV server, TerraMaster can meet your needs. In addition, for users pursuing cloud storage, TerraMaster also provides seamless integration with many well-known cloud disks, such as Amazon S3, Alibaba Cloud OSS, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc., ensuring that your data can be synchronized to the cloud safely. Easily access and restore data anytime, anywhere.

Multiple Backup Modes

Supports incremental mode, mirror mode, multi-version mode and mixed mode. Users can flexibly select backup modes to speed up backup and save storage space.

Duple Backup Vault

Duple Backup Vault is the server application required for Duple Backup to establish connections with other TNAS devices. It can realize the backup source to obtain the read and storage permissions of the shared folder of the remote TNAS device; realize the functional interaction and information synchronization between the Duple Backup application and the Duple Backup Vault application; allow the remote TNAS administrator to monitor the status of the task at any time. When writing data, external connections can be disconnected when abnormal conditions occur.

Disaster Recovery

Can quickly restore the lost data when a device hardware failure or system failure occurs in TNAS.

Data Security Goes One Step Further

The synergy of TerraMaster Centralized Backup and Duple Backup builds an indestructible data security fortress for users. With its powerful functions, the Centralized Backup application can easily aggregate various data such as Windows devices, file servers, and virtual machines to TNAS to achieve one-stop management and recovery. The Duple Backup application further strengthens this line of defense. It can mirror key data in TNAS to other storage devices or the cloud to ensure data security in extreme situations. The seamless cooperation between the two provides comprehensive data protection from any data risks, ensuring the absolute security and integrity of data.

Data Backup for F4-424 Pro

The newly released F4-424 Pro, combined with the newly released Duple Backup, helps enterprises easily back up data on NAS, supports off-site backup or cloud storage, and greatly improves the data security of TNAS devices.

  1. Just bought one, spent several hours getting frustrated by it and sent it back. What a horrible experience the Terramaster was. Just the setup experience alone destroyed my trust in the platform. Finding it on the network took quite a long time. Had to reboot it manually after it booted the first time. Eventually it appeared and it is not clear what you actually do. It had an Apipa ip address. I clicked login and then it asked me to change the IP and enter the admin password. What it really meant, was wait 5-10 seconds and we will change the ip to a DHCP obtained – but I spent several rounds of accepting and logging in with the generated IP. The first time you click login and type the password it does not do anything. Nor does the login button above the interface – which actually makes it generate a new DHCP IP address. I had to right-click and only login that way – it was just weird. It could not find the internet so picking autosetup did not work. Manually I setup the name, password etc. and the boxes kept turning red indicating, I guess, I had not entered valid data – 0 feedback in the GUI. It could not send verification email during that setup. It has a code producer you need to type in 4 digits that on a large screen you could not see it. I know I am rambling but I just went through this and it was very mickey mouse. There just isn’t any feedback to anything you do – if it does not like your input it just stares into a corner. Others suggested FreeNAS and that sounds the way to go, but I decided a 423+ is just going to be better as I wanted a pretty simple experience.

  2. Absolutely loving mine running TrueNAS Scale 24.02.2 and I have a jail where I run my things in docker. It’s a mean machine and handles anything for plex especially now that plex has fixed the single CPU thread transcoding for subtitle burn in!

  3. I purchased this machine. I will install 48 terabytes of HDD in the F-424 Pro. With 32 gigabytes of RAM, what is the optimum SSD capacity recommended to enable the best performance from the NAS?

  10. 10:26 I would say it may be a question of pearls before swine. Could a N300 Celeron-class really handle a full 10G with 4 Sata drives & Nvme drives or would it bottleneck long before? If it was at least a Core i3 (or even a Pentium from the same generation) I would be a lot more sanguine.

  15. Thank you for the information!
    I have a question after reviewing it.
    I have:

    1. Synology DS-920+ NAS with four 4TB HDDs (currently in use).
    2. TERRAMASTER F4-424 Pro NAS (new).
    3. Four 8TB HDDs (new).
    —
    And I have an idea:
    To replace one by one all four disks in the Synology DS-920+ NAS with the new 8TB ones.
    After that, take the old four 4TB disks from the Synology DS-920+ NAS and install them in the new TERRAMASTER F4-424 Pro NAS, first disabling the boot from USB in the BIOS and setting it to boot from HDD.

    QUESTION:
    Do you think it’s possible to use DSM 7.2 on the new TERRAMASTER F4-424 Pro in this way?

  18. Can you recommend me a NAS or DAS that allow me to host a website and allow me to access the website publicly? Does it have a built in DDNS to access the website or I have to sign up a with a 3rd party Free DDNS?

  23. Im curious how is the hdmi out put looks like? Just a command prompt? No gui? I never use nas before but. Can we access the nas like pc anywhere/team viewer? Where u can access the nas from primary computer and orginize the files between nas drives and you can turn off the primary computer and leave the nas to finish copy/moving files between the drives?

  25. They’ve definitely stepped up their design game over the past 12-months, their 9-12 boxes look ???????? unfortunately though, both main contender-brands (TerraMaster and ASUSTOR) have failed to pay attention at the higher end, which is, people want PCIe and other slots..

  26. I’m torn on waiting for this to become widely available in the UK (Amazon say they sell it but they don’t) or get the regular F4-424. I would like to use it to watch 4K video to a TV and massive backups. Nothing more than that. No other streaming, no surveillance, no web server stuff, etc, maybe some Docker stuff later on but for now just back up and watching videos.

    Should I wait or get the regular version which is available right now? Will the lower CPU and Memory matter?

  27. I enjoyed this review. The problem now with this and other NAS drives is the price that HDD’s have reached to put inside them. HDD’s have now become ridiculously expensive. Will they ever come back down in price. Even external desktop expansion drive prices have gone through the roof.

  32. Is this version quieter than the previous F4-423 model? I have one for almost a year now, using it with TrueNAS, so there is no fan-speed control and I think it is a bit too loud for my taste. Also, the full metal chassis is just resonating with the drives sometimes. I would be happy to switch to one of the newer versions if I knew that it would be quieter than the current one.

    Also, can that one big fan cool down 4 “normal” disks? I mean, the non-Exos/non-datacenter, simple NAS drives like Ironwolf or Red series.

    32GB RAM is not an issue with that chip. Intel has been playing this game for a while now when they handicap these lower-end chips with arbitrary limitations (like the 1 DIMM channel only…), but the supported memory configuration on the Ark site is such a joke sometimes… Even the older N5095/N5105 chips were able to handle 2*16GB RAM, while the Ark page states the max supported memory size is 16GB. I have an i7-1360P mini PC at home, originally the Ark page stated that the max memory config is 32GB, but it later got updated to 96GB (I have a 2*48GB config in it, and it works like a charm…). I also have an N100 machine at home, which handles a 48GB DIMM, and it has the same memory controller as the N300/305. Heck, dmidecode reports that even 64GB is supported, although as far as I know, there are no 64GB DDR5 SODIMM modules available as of now, so we will see some time in the future.

    Also, I found it quite interesting when you said that it would be good to see their solution instead of VirtualBox. While I hate that software, I would love to see a NAS software that leverages popular open-source solutions. Like for example, every brand has its own Docker app. But why? I had a Synology NAS, and that docker interface is horrible IMHO. So they spend a bunch of resources to develop something, that could be entirely replaced by simply pre-installing Portainer with Docker. It is an open-source, well-known solution, that is miles better than anything that I have ever seen on any NAS. But this way, they had to develop it, and now they have to maintain and support it, which uses a bunch of resources instead of simply using something popular with a good reputation. I don’t think that Portainer is the only docker UI that should exist, but even if someone has other preferences, they would still probably agree that it is way better than any one of the “custom” NAS solutions.

  38. Very nice review of this unit. I picked one up from the Amazon link. I have heard a lot of people say not to use the m.2 for caching but instead to setup one or both of the m.2 slots with drives for running the TOS and applications. If I did that, then what setup would you suggest? One or two m.2 drives? What size drive(s)?

  40. I been thinking i purchase one to run my home lab, proxmox with truenas, home assistant, and other things.. i think would work fine right? That way i can remove my old qnap and my nuc and replace with just onde device..

    The only downside i can find is number of usb ports, i will need to had a hub, to connect my 3d printer and ZigBee dongle.

    I don’t think i can diy a nas with same hardware for the same money.. Or i am wrong?

  42. I seriously hate all the bloat and BS that is included and ENFORCED by default with QNAP NAS’s these days, which means it *can* take upwards of 10 minutes to shutdown, reboot and boot back up to a useable system.
    The Terramaster NAS’s I’ve used so far, have been lightening fast in use, but is severely crippled by crap software. Local backup -> USB always fails. There’s no way to have logs emailed. ISCSI backup is flakey.
    I terms of the N300 CPU, it’s only listed as supporting 16GB DDR5 so that particular CPU doesn’t take market share away from Intel’s other low end CPU’s.

  44. Does it support ECC? I know it officially doesn’t but sometimes they unofficially support it.

    Also just because the CPU doesn’t officially support 32GB, it doesn’t mean it won’t work reliably. Because it could just be a soft limitation.

  47. i think for the normal nas home user 10gbe isn’t important and the overwhelming majority won’t have 2.5 gbe either. I know nobody I know uses it at the moment. I think for people running some high end network it might be a big deal. I think for most people it’s an after thought. I don’t think most people want to buy all new gear, switches, routers or whatever at like triple the cost to get those speeds.

  48. Had one delivered last week. Runs unRAID perfectly! 4x12TB spinning rust plus a couple of 512GB NVMe for cache.

    Very happy with this after downsizing from a Fractal R5.

    Gonna see if I can get a couple of heatsink shims on the SSD, as they can get a little toasty at times when downloading saturates the broadband link (1 gigabit).

  51. Great review! Do you think Synology will release a 4 bay NAS with equivalent CPU’s in 2024? I’m looking at getting my first NAS (mainly for Plex) but I’m put off by the old CPU’s Synology rocks at the moment. The F4-424 looks pretty strong for Plex – I’m not sure if it’s potentially overkill for 4k remux etc…

  52. Hoping that Terramaster release an 8 bay version (F8-424 Pro?) with 64GB of RAM support. Together with the dual NVMe slots – this would be an ideal box for my uses (unRAID).

  55. I would like Robbie to add a piece in EVERY NAS product review in the future. Immediately before the ‘Review Verdict & Conclusion’ section, what are the close peers to the NAS being reviewed. That is, if you like the specs of this NAS, also look at ‘these models’ from ‘these manufacturers’.

  56. It would be interesting to know if they still have an internal USB Drive for the NAS Software installation, like the previous models. That can open the door to alternative NAS OS like TrueNAS Scale. The Hardware looks decent. The memory recommendation from Intel does not mean that 32GByte ran unstabilly. I ran my SandyBridge Intel i7 Mac for 7 years with 16GByte, and 8GByte was officially supported by Intel. No problem at all! Just a better performance.

  57. Great review
    Still don’t get the no hdmi out.
    I disagree on the 32gb ram, I am 100% sure that is going to be fine…
    Yes 730€ here in monkey land Spain is way too much and sadly as soon as qnap or synology releases theirs (because they will have to) it will be double that price.
    Finally 30:31 Holy crap my heart skipped a beat when you bumped your whole NAS pyramid on the desk. ????

  58. I have to say that I encounter the problem of your reviews beeing to good. I thought about getting this and now that you said that Qnap (that i dont get because of security) would let me start a virtual machine using the HDMI (what i wanted to do with this Terramaster) I’m angry once again, because the system is almost perfect besides this point.
    I just want a NAS that i can hook up to my TV to maybe play some SNES emulator or old games on it. I would like a OS that doesnt tell me that my HDDs are about to fail after 2 years (hello synology), forces me to use their own SDDs (synology again) or is a security risk to get hacked and host my movies on the internet from my IP (QNAP). I mean i could deal with the extra price on the SSD and ignore the HDD warning on a Synology, but they dont have the HDMI port and the slow connection makes SSDs pointles. So i guess i wait a bit longer to see if terramaster rolls out a “HDMI Gui” or hope that synology releases a product that doesnt have limits from the start to indirecly force to be willing to upgrade to the next model?

    But well… i still respect Terramaster for this release and hope that QNAP gets their security done to force Synology out of their comport zone.
