[@MrPir84free]

In an ideal world, your primary data is on your primary device, phone or computer. Your NAS would be an onsite backup of that data, or you can choose to use cloud storage if you're ok with that. You should also have an offsite storage of your data that is regularly updated, and for your most important data, you should have an OFFLINE, offsite stored copy of your most important documents and files, like in a safety deposit box or at a friend's or relative's house.

[@MrPir84free]

Onsite storage, like a NAS, is meant for backing up your primary devices in case it gets corrupted, stolen, deleted, or destroyed. But onsite storage is at risk to malware, ransomware, theft of the device, fire, other natural disasters, etc. Usually you also want offsite online storage. This can be a copy of your NAS or local computers, and protects against more things like malware,ransomware, etc better. This can be a NAS at a friend or relative's house, cloud storage, etc. And then you have offline storage; ideally not kept in your home, definitely not in the bag where your laptop is. Thumb drives, an encrypted hard drive, etc; a good place for many might be a friend or relatives home, or a safety deposit box at the bank. This needs to be periodically updated with current files, which makes it a manual process. But it is good at protecting from malware, theft, ransomware, etc.

[@MrPir84free]

Hardware replacement. For things like a NAS, hard drives, or anything that is mechanical or electronic in nature, well, it's got a lifespan at which sometime, it's going to die or become unusable without significant cost. For most hardware, this is from a few years for SD cards and flash/thumb drives, to maybe 5 to 7 years or so for spinning hard drives etc, provided that the devices are stored in proper humidity & temperature controlled environments. You should periodically test your devices to see if the device still functions, and if it fails, replace it and refresh your copy from one of your other backups. When you control all aspects of the backups, you foot all of the bill and all of the work involved. Cloud storage allows you to let someone else deal with the failure aspects; but still, OFFLINE backups stored elsewhere is invaluable to protecting against ransomware / malware losses. The downside to cloud storage is that you don't own the backup; your provider can choose to provide your data to someone else whether it be a company, or the government or for their own pleasures. It's all risk vs reward vs cost vs labor. IF your data is not backed up many times, in multiple locations, you put that data at risk of loss, thru one means or another. It's your data, and how you choose to protect it is up to you.

I had to write a script to transfer the applications from one drive to another because they stupidly do not do redundancy on the applications you install and only place them in the system area of the first drive installed instead of copy them to all the drives system areas and they provide no way to move the applications through the interface they provide. Though once you poke around a little it's easy to figure out what they did and become a Synology NAS power user.

The drives restoring themselves is according to what RAID level you choose. If i’m not mistaken, RAID level 5 would do that. At least 3 drives required and one drive redundant meaning only one of the 3 drives can fail and when you get a new one it will restore itself. But once again, it entirely depends on what RAID level you choose when setting up your device.

[@ikannunaplays]

I use SHR on two drives. When ones down it restores the other just fine. I think it's about ratios. If you have three drives then there is no way the parity data needed to rebuild can fit on only one drive. So if it were four drives then two can fail and it will rebuild, but no more than that. So, your remaining drives must be at minimum 50% of your overall capacity.

I think you forgot to mention how useless it is as a cloud if you have really low Upload rates like 10Mbits. Would take Days to download some of my files from outside

[@Brandon-uy1uv]

Some isps block you from hosting files even when on fiber. I can't even remote into my pc 😭 from another network

Everyone hold hands and say it together: RAID IS NOT A BACKUP

[@rajatsharma2623]

But why.

[@vital20]

@@rajatsharma2623 because if there was a fire or someone takes a baseball bat and smashes your NAS, you lose all of your files. Does that sound like you have your data backed up? Good backups are in another location or in the cloud. RAID is just drive redundancy in case of a failure.

[@RaduRadonys]

[@LaBAdochnicht]

If the thief cant get one drive. He'll take the whole NAS

[@hagen-p]

You also need to check if the rebuilding works. Friend of me worked in a service company outfitting medical practices and (luckily) always tested all equipment _before_ installing it. For one of the RAID devices he tested, he just pulled out one of five disks for half an hour and then re-plugged it. Instead of re-syncing the re-connected HDD, the firmware of the RAID controller proceeded to initialize thw whole drive stack again, wiping any data on it.

[@mrchaos1001]

but if your home catches on fire... and you use this its gone. BUT if your home catches on fire, OneDrive and Google drive are off site and your files are safe. AND if, THEY catch on fire... they have masive amounts of money for offsite backups....so your files are still safe.

Do do this, people. I had 6 drives at home, until one day the motherboard short-circuited and all 6 drives became inoperable.

[@BooleanDev]

this still is not a backup

[@schnitzler001]

This can also happen to the Nas. So you would a UPS in front of the Nas which would cost you at least another 100$.

[@yyyyyk]

@@schnitzler001 I'm not sure a UPS would have saved the drives, since the voltage jump might have come from the motherboard. (maybe, I don't know...)

[@andywest6062]

Those Synology drives are well worth the money. We had a 2-bay setup at my old office just for internal storage. 2x 1TB drives set in RAID mode, with remote access from wherever. All for less than £300-400 including the drives.

[@pedxing]

used a synology NAS for a good decade now. excellent hardware, but the REAL value is their service. top notch.

[@criticallook1352]

Who needs a key when you can take the entire box?! :

[@edinfific2576]

I prefer to have my own data in my own hands, under my own control, my own speed and without dependence on the Internet connection (multiple times slower than an HDD) and a company's policies or existence. You keep your data in the cloud, you depend on the cloud.

[@FreshtexBlackman]

Dude everyone and their grandmother knows what a NAS is.

[@harrison00xXx]

Hey let him, little savvy finally realized NAS exist he is a noob and has with a good chance not even a technical background

[@DanteLevelsUp]

"Lock it with a key" that made me laugh so hard.

[@Dragonorder18]

Network accessible RAID setups are certainly growing in popularity. But it would kind of be cheaper to setup one older Desktop into a NAS. Then one could setup a RAID 1 System in there with only 2 drives. Granted, it would mean that you need two 8TB drives to keep 8TB of space on them. But that's probably the cheaper option for backup data storage. while i like the idea of Storage devices like that with their own built in systems. There's lot of other options for Network storage too.

That thing is huge! I would use one if it was smaller and held like 10 SSD's that would be so nice to have 10 8TB SSD's in a unit like that. Connect it to my router and use it as my server storage as well as my personal storage on select drives.

I seem to recall in my younger days of tech that you could also make an old computer a NAS or set up a NAS with an unused drive on your main computer.

[@MrBobDobolina]

As long as your house doesn't burn down.

[@robertconsoni9355]

What good does it do locking it up with a key when you can pick up the whole unit and unplug it and walk away with all your hard drives. Really smart!

[@YerBrwnDogAteMyRabit]

The magic always happens in the back..

[@TexasCat99]

Glad that key keeps people from stealing the whole thing.

Until the NAS itself fails or your house burns down.

I have two synology nas’s in two separate geographical locations. They back up synchronized to each other, so I actually do not need a Google Drive because one of the drivers could fail and burn or get stolen and I will still have all my information. Having a single NAS at the same location as your workstation or server, will not substitute for a cloud back up such a Google Drive.

[@hansdavis7335]

"It's says you have 4 Freaking terabytes of storage" "Yeah" "But it says it's full!?" "Uh huh" "But it's just one folder named "Research Purposes"!!" "....uh...yeah"

[@velinion1]

Google Drive: Offsite backup in 2-3 locations around the world. Your data will likely survive the appocolypes. Synology NAS: Onsite backup. You data will not survive the same fire/flood that killed your computer in the first place. Onsite backup has its uses, but your data isn't save until there are 3 copies in at least 2 physical locations.

[@XBullitt16X]

You do need one if you’re cheap and don’t need much space . That said having your own NAS is amazing, but it’s definitely not a cheap or easily accessible option.

Like my Google drive except i live it at home when i drive.
