Excellent video Frank! I have my backups automated pretty much the same way that you do. Synology has made it so easy. Your studio is meticulously designed! It’s beautiful. What I like best is that there are no wires visible behind you but everything is lit up. Wait, is that a wire that I see just over your right shoulder 😂

Thanks a lot! That...is a wire 😂. I worked hard to hide them all and they don't really show on video, but they certainly show off video! Much better than I've ever had in the past though!

As part of my backup strategy, I repurposed an older NAS to act as my backup storage and installed it in my garage which is about 40 feet from my house. In my case, I ran Cat 6 from my house to my garage during a recent renovation. If I didn't have that wiring, I would have installed an old router in the garage and configured it as a hotspot and connected that to the backup NAS. That way, the main NAS and the backup NAS would be connected via Wifi on the same network. Now I just use my software of choice to backup the main NAS to the garage location. ( I also have a cloud backup but done on a different interval .)

It's why I went back to Synology. The backups are so easy, and the backups in the cloud are easily navigable by luddites. And now there are even read-only snapshots. Everyone in my family understands the Synology software, even if I think there are better ones. E: The only thing I'm really disappointed about is the slow update cycle of ABB for Linux. Whenever ABB catches up, Linux has moved on.
@WunderTechTutorials Жыл бұрын
Definitely agree with that. It's nice that it's technically supported on Linux but the kernel support isn't great.

I appreciate your sharing your strategy. I would love to implement it using backblaze b2 like you do, but it's very cost prohibitive. As a media artist I need to back up 20 TB of client data (4K video and 3D renders) and it would be 100/mth to go with Synology + BB B2. And that cost will grow as my storage does. If B2 were more affordable this might have been the perfect solution. So instead, I'm likely sticking with my Promise Pegasus and just adding an internal drive or 2, that way I can use BB Personal. Too bad, I was really looking forward to getting a Synology and learning it's ecosystem. But as a small business art studio I appear to be in No Man's Land when it comes to cloud backups between the cheaper home user market, and expensive larger business area. If you know of any solutions for someone like me I'd appreciate it.

good explanation,, personally my tool of choice is Duplicati, lots of options, free and hooks up into different online services, but i use free backup to a remote location over tailscale/zerotier vpn... so monthly cost is zero :)

Noob question: does the sync task eat up a lot of system resources? I game on the pc I’d be setting this up on and don’t want to lose performance.
@WunderTechTutorials5 ай бұрын
It shouldn't, though it really depends on the file sizes you're working with. If you're syncing huge files, your network performance will decrease while the sync is happening but other than that, it hasn't been a significant resource issue for me.

Yes, if you're using a VPN - that's probably the best way to handle it.

Yeah there is no such thing as not thinking about automated stuff. If your Sync or the app makes mistake/s, you are then backing up mistakes, and yep, you will not know till you try and restore. I been in IT a long time, I have non critical stuff, and I have lost many things over the years, and it all comes from errors, small things or app errors, so even for small home stuff, this all becomes a job & needs a lot of thought. Also, if you buy all your NAS drives at the same time, guess what ? you may have more than one fail at similar time, or, you get one fail and trying to restore causes stress on the others & suddenly you have more failures. There is no easy foolproof way to do this on the cheap, it is a job ! I recommend people check the process often and what has been backed up. The most errors I have had is with any sort of syncing.

Shall I use hyper backup with backblaze personal storage instead backblaze b2?
@WunderTechTutorials Жыл бұрын
As far as I know, you unfortunately can't. Hyper Backups needs B2 so you can use the Amazon S3 endpoint.

This is nice, but I use synology to reduce dependance on 3rd party cloud services. I sync my google drive TO synology 😁 I would like to be able to sync that synology (DS220) to other one (DS115), which is off site. Still haven't found a good way to do it... Waiting for you to make a tutorial about it 😁

I have a few tutorials you can piece together to get that working.

Use Hyperbackup Vault on the second NAS. You need to create a port forward on your secondary location router. Secure the port forward rule to allow only site 1 public IP address.

Hi Frank, when looking at your video, I found that you have different tabs in the notification area than me (e.g. at 8:27). My tabs are called "email" "sms" "push services" & "rules", while you have extra "webhooks" and "events". And my items are organized by "system" " log center" "docker" "hyperbackup" and many more, and not be severity like yours. that is something that I would appreciate as an extra. Are you running a pre-release version of DSM? I am running DSM 7.1.1-42962 update 6 on a DS918+ Best regards from Munich/germany tom
