Excellent and detailed video. Thank you.

[@AlexeyPirogov]

Quick and simple, thank you! For some reason, there are not many videos about Synology and Glacier integration but there are so many use-cases and price is great.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

[@Miguel-tx2ws]

is there a way to encrypt or put a password on that tar file?

[@SonoranTech-hf5hf]

You could just run it through gpg..

[@CountZilch]

Seems horribly complicated. Why wouldn't you just use Synology's built-in Glacier Backup app?

[@SonoranTech-hf5hf]

The reason is that the Glacier backup app doesn't support all of the glacier storage classes and you can't use the cheapest storage class. So the glacier app is definitely easier, but will cost quite a bit more in the long run.
