Synology makes backing up EVERYTHING in our home lab from servers, PCs, MacBooks, and even the NAS itself with Active Backup for Business. We will use the 3-2-1 method to properly back up all of our files to a remote system.

One more thing about Synology snapshots - they can be made immutable (read only). For a period of time that you set, even an administrator can’t modify or delete them. If your drives get crypto’d it’s trivial to restore your files. And even if they manage to break into the Nas, they can’t change or delete your immutable snapshots.

Tailscale on each nas is by far the easiest way to to remote backup on a synology nas.. No open ports on the router and very easy to set up

@wilsmith7173 7 ай бұрын

yup ... Tailscale and Hyper Backup between two locations is far easier. And Tailscale is in Synology's Package Center so no having to build in Container Manager/Docker

@EmperorCrzyDmnd 7 ай бұрын

this is the correct answer. don't open ports to your NAS. tailscale allows for a generous number of devices on its free tier.

@berwickcomputers 7 ай бұрын

Tailscale also works when being a cgnat.. I am behind a triple nat in the sense I have a 4G CGNAT connection and I have my 4g modem plugged into a Tp Link Omada VPN Router ER605 providing Dhcp to all my clients and I also have to leave my 4g modem in router mode because if I change it to bridge mode I cannot access the router advanced feature such a 4g band preference..

Thank you so so much for talking about this. At my job, I have been considering Synology for our new backup solution over Veeam (Veeam gets expensive with the licensing. Currently spending about $5k/yr) and with Synology, we don't have to pay for any more licenses and can practically do the exact same functions as Veeam.

@mikeyfoofoo 7 ай бұрын

This! - We don't use Veeam, but do spend a lot of money on two other software backup systems. For the same price I could buy at least a couple of these synology systems a year.

I have a synology 1522 which is my first NAS device, experience was great as a noob however after while upgradability and price-to-performance ratio became my main issue, If synology can release DSM as a standalone software like TrueNAS, OMV and UnRaid to install in our choice of hardware that will be amazing and I will continue using my 1522.. till that moment, i plan to change/migrate from Synology to my own custom NAS using OMV

ABB looks really nice! 👍 Is it encrypted? I’m really not a fan of using rsync for backup though. Yes I know, it’s possible to use it for proper backup with a pretty advanced script but so many people use it as a sync and think it’s a backup. Use proper backup applications folks, not syncing!

@RaidOwl 7 ай бұрын

But how about syncing then snap shotting??? 🤔🤔

@KS-wr8ub 7 ай бұрын

@@RaidOwl Each to their own I guess, but to me snapshots isn't backup either. The rely on the data to be intact. To me snapshots are for correcting human errors. Backup is for restoring from hardware errors, corruption and environmental impact. Now, snapshots is an important tool in a good backup application though, that's allows it to be incremental very easy. I appreciate all of your videos mate! If you have a video of how you setup your rsync and snapshots I have missed it. Will take a look! 👍
