#RESILIO SYNC PIECES FOR FREE#
I connect to the Synology using VPN (on my private files) and a DDNS-address provided by Synology for free - both of which work pretty good. I’m running Resilio-Sync on it, because that means: no vendor-lock-in, because Resilio-Sync just ‘syncs’ your files/folders peer-to-peer over any amount of devices (one of which is the Synology NAS). I have even had freelance clients come to me 10 years after they stopped using my services asking for files that I was able to provide off my I also use Synology NASes since 10+ years. I have many TB of data on my NAS and have never lost a file. I go on Amazon, order a new one, hot-swap the drives and the Synology rebuilds the data. I have had my Synology email me several times over the years telling me a drive is going bad. Another option would be to get a 4 bay Synology and use their Hybrid RAID. If you want multiple copies of your data on your NAS you can set up a nightly rolling copy, but I would think Hyper Backup would keep you safe. (At least I’m almost certain it works that way. Hyper Backup does incremental backups so you can roll back in time, much like Time Machine. Not the best solution as both would be lost in something like a house fire, but I also have my DT data sync’d between a couple computers that are rarely in the same place. I use Hyper Backup to back my important stuff up to a USB drive I have connected to my NAS. And now for one I know this kind of thing to be definitively possible! On the other hand, it seems that “snapshots” are exclusively available on hardware supporting btrfs filesystem (which isn’t the case with the model I’m considering buying).Īdditionally, would you advise connecting the NAS to cloud services (Google Drive etc.)? My thinking is that if there’s no versioning, I might end up with the risk of the eventual data corruption or deletion in those services damaging the copies in the NAS. Can I keep a history of multiple versions of my files in the NAS? I read about the “Hyper Backup”, but it seems to create multiple backups in remote storages or cloud services (Blackblaze etc.). Hopefully, I’ll recover from its disks part of the files lost by Dropbox, but the proper solution is more likely to be having an always-on NAS sitting on my desk.Ī question for you guys using Synology: I’m considering buying the DS218j model. But it’s been more than a year this computer isn’t turned on.
#RESILIO SYNC PIECES FULL#
In the past, I did better in keeping as a principle to always have a full copy of my contents in a Linux server at home. Thank you for pointing out Synology NAS as a solution.
It works fine for DEVONthink sync stores but I don’t do it remotely because it can get slow at times (I have gigabit cable at the house and FIOS fiber when i’m out in Philly) and Dropbox sync is much faster and reliable for me. The VPN I use is software-defined (zerotier) but people run wiregard/openvpn/synologyVPN on their synology devices all the time. Since I’m dual-stack in that house I have routable public addresses on most systems and don’t need to use NAT redirects or portforwarding, etc. I use Resilio Sync to sync folders around (every workstation has their own dotfiles folder) but Synology has a service/software called Drive that does something very similar to Dropbox/Resilio/Onedrive (but without an API) You can use the DNS redirect thing but I run a VPN service on mine and that’s how I connect to it and the rest of my household network there when I’m away.
My primary filer is actually at a house I’m only in one week a month.
I connect to services on my Synology remotely all the time.
