[@thaitichi]

🥳 Haven't watch it yet but so excited for this series!!! Thank you!

Just got my DS1821+ and populated 5 bays with 22TB Seagate Ironwolf pro drives. Also added 2 TB WD SN850 NVMe for cache and 10 Gbe pci card. I’m debating what to do with the last 3 bays: either go 3 SSD or just put another 3X 22TB Seagate ironwolf pros. Can’t wait to watch all the videos in this series to learn more about my new NAS.

I need chapter 2 and would label all your chapters in sequence. Please

I'm a super brand new NAS user; I just got my first machine (Synology DS1821+; thanks for recommending this unit for video creation). Super great videos!!! I started on your 2024 Setup Guides. I'm on a MacBook Pro, and I'm starting to get lost in this video because you're using Windows (beginning at the 7:45 timestamp). Do you recommend I watch some other tutorials that cater to Macs? I've been learning a lot from your channel, but now I'm second-guessing whether this is the right move for me because of the learning curve on a Mac. Your thoughts and/or suggestions. Thank you!

I have my NAS set up nicely and I even have it getting backed up to a remote location via a Tailscale application. However, I am confused on what application I need for backing up, and syncing a few folders from my PC to the NAS. I am currently using Microsoft Synctoy. I have read about Active Sync for business, as well as Synology Drive. Which is the best to go with?? If I simply want an automated backup of my computer folders to my NAS, what is the best way to go?? Thank you !!!

Is there away to get Synology Drive working on DSM 6.2 or a work around. ??

I'm definitely interested in a backup NAS for my current QNAP NAS but specifically with the capability to backup to a remote location. I see that Synology NAS software does support backing up a QNAP NAS to a remote Synology NAS but I'm unimpressed by the hardware Synology offers for the price. I guess with Synology it's more about their software suite for the price. Does QNAP have same capabilities specifically regarding remote NAS backup/sync?

a nas to nas back up utilizing synology or rsync wouldnt give us usable folders would it? it would give us a hyperbackup style file .hbk that contains everything within it? i want to backup my nas to a remote offsite nas weekly/monthly but allow the files to be used on that nas as they would on the local one. something akin to sync i guess

[@john_in_phoenix]

Rsync certainly sounds like what you want.

Thoughts on Tailscale to run a backup to second NAS ???

[@theroboticscodedepot7736]

Did you watch the recent Hardware Haven video?

[@allenbuyck7957]

I did not. I will check k out. I am using Tailscale but was curious what other’s thoughts were

[@theroboticscodedepot7736]

@@allenbuyck7957 - Given the expense of a Synology NAS just for backups I was thinking of going the Tailscale route. Do you think it's a good solution?

[@georgec2932]

I'm going to be moving my second NAS to my parents in the near future and my plan is to use tailscale. I use a wireguard VPN server for accessing my home network when away from home but there isn't an easy way of getting the wireguard client on synology DSM. There is a synology app for tailscale so I think it's the path of least resistance and should be good from a security perspective.

[@allenbuyck7957]

I am running it and love it. I have a second NAS at a relative's house and run a backup of my home NAS once per week. works great !!
