Taking copies of TIBX backup files
Try as a might, I can never get Acronis TI to back up to my QNAP TS412 NAS drives for long before I start getting errors and have to clone the backup scheme and start over (the files always end up unreadable by Acronis TI even though they are there on the shared drive)
I've got around the problem by installing a large HDD on the local computers and backing up directly to there, but that doesn't give me the same level of security so ... if I was to regularly copy the TIBX files from the local backup drive ot the NAS drive after each backup, would those files be usable in the case of a catstrophic failure of the local computer? How would I go about reintroducing the 2nd copies back onto a new PC if it ever came to a complete new PC or reinstall of PC? Thanks.

Thanks Steve,
Insightful, useful responses as always. Thanks.
I suspect my aging QNAP TS-412's are just getting too long in the tooth to cope as a backup destination. Maybe I should switch technology from QNAP to Synology too? (I assume the WD RED drives aren't the problem and I've long ago stopped using RAID 5 which further slowed down the NAS drives).
