    ABB encryption

    Hi, First post on this Forum - I'm backing up a win11 pc (my personal computer) to a ds220+ non-encrypted share (ABB running on the same ds220+). I have backup encryption on the share enabled in ABB settings. I assume this means the backup is encrypted at rest. And, indeed, when browsing the...

    I installed Active Backup for Business to backup my Mac. After the initial backup, most backups only take a few minutes and transfer just a few dozen MB, which seems normal.

    Can I backup my NAS to a directly-attached SSD?

    I'm a new home-based NAS user (Synology DS224+). I understand that there are cloud-based backup methods, but I'm wondering if it's possible for me to USB-plug an SSD into the DS224+ and send the backup to that. If 'yes', please direct me to instructions. Thanks.
