Hi,
yes, these would be the recommended steps. Just step 2) and 3) would be
somehow different.
Keep in mind you create (yes, with mdadm) a new block device.. So you
can write a new (empty!) file system on it, mount it to
/var/lib/BackupPC and start using it. But this would mean you loose you

/backuppc folder).
If I understood, necessary steps are:
1) add iSCSI client on BackupPC, to be able to use iSCSI target on QNAP

So in this case instead of trying to add DRBD to the QNAP host I would
suggest you export an iSCSI target to the BackupPC host. Add iSCSI
client to your BackupPC server and use the iSCSI target as underlying
device for local RAID1. Thus, yo
