Running ProxMox for the hypervisor w/ ZFS and running either native Docker images or LVM's on ProxMox for all of my services. One at home and another at a friends for DR. I've got 2x 8 bay NAS now (onsite and offsite) for my data. Right now that's Google Drive, but that will likely change to Backblaze B2 as soon as it's available in HyperBackup.If you don't mind building it yourself and are happy doing the OS config/setup, I recomend buying one of these chassis' and going the DIY route. So the flow I use is that everything on the home network backs up to the Synology using whatever means (Veeam for everything but the Macs, the Macs use the Synology's Time Machine service for their backups), and then I use Hyper Backup to backup whats on the Synology to cloud storage. I personally use the Veeam Agent and have my computers use an SMB share from the Synology as their backup target. You're much better off using something that can do full volume backups. It's basically the same crap you get if you buy a WD hard drive and use their included backup program. It is actually versioned backups from the client device to the Synology, but it's only file level backup. It just flips the roles.Ĭloud Station Backup is the exception to the 'sync' style. So Cloud = Synology is the server, other stuff is the client, Hyper Backup = The Synology is the client sending to another server. Cloud Station is intended for users to send stuff to the Synology (and, if desired, from the Synology to other clients), while Hyper Backup is intended for the Synology to send stuff to other places. The major difference between the Cloud Station stuff and Hyper Backup is that the Cloud Station stuff is just sync, while Hyper Backup is full versioned backups. If you Google a bit, you can find several reasons why RAID5 is a bad idea in this day and age. 4 4TB raids in SHR is the same as a RAID5. I also just read it supports max of 2 sync tasks - is this going to be a problem for a single PC and my desired goals? Maybe I should look in to changing to a newer model but am hoping to keep price below $1,000 - of which ~$550 is going towards the x4 4TB HDs.ĭo not use SHR for that much storage. Your concern over the J series is making me double-think my decision. Are they intended to run together or is Hyper Backup intended as a 1 stop solution? I think where I am getting the most hung up is my ignorance in the differences between the Cloud Station services and Hyper Backup. I was thinking Amazon or B2 but also free access to Intronis cloud storage through my job (finding zero information about the possibility of this). Once this data is collected and stored to NAS, I would like to move it to the cloud. I am trying to come up with a config that would do real-time incremental backup/syncs of the ~4TB network drive and desired C:\ folders. I would like to offload as much of the software and daily operations to the NAS and away from the PC. "Cold/Glacier" cloud storage sounds like a good alternative and would allow me to automate this process.Īutomation and "set and forget" is the main goal here. I do this in the rare case I need to reference anything from the prior year. Once a year I move about 2TB worth of documents to an external drive and store it in my closet. A config that allows for real-time/monthly and long term (1 year ) disaster recovery.Share Windows User profile and any critical C:\ folders to NAS.Create a network share of ~4TB and map to a single Win10 PC to store Office Docs and CAD files.Configure x4 4TB WD Reds in SHR for 12TB space.
