nas

I've recently purchased a new Synology RS1221+ NAS and several Seagate Exos X16 HHDs, and needed to convert them from the factory 512 byte setting, to the native 4096 byte sector size. I notice a lot of guides are using desktop computers / external HDD enclosures / USB adapters (that's bad) to...

I connected a UPS to my main DS1621+, and set it to enter safe mode in 5 minutes. I also set all my nas's to talk to the main nas as the ups server and get the settings from server which is 5 minutes. I pulled the plug from the wall and and the ups will power everything for about 20 mins. So the...

IOSafe's new 220+ NAS incorporates the guts of a Synology 220+ network attached storage device into a rugged safe-like package that can resist fires and floods using a special endothermic material. As usually an interesting review from Lon.

I was going to post this as a reply to another thread, but this deserves a new post. The title says it all, but: If I have source nas backing up to target nas, both on my lan, how/what is the best way to protect the backup target nas? The idea being that someone has compromised my lan...

So I use CMS on my main nas, and I have my other local nas all connect to it for centralized notifications. I have a remote nas at another location, can I use Tailscale to connect it my main nas or is there a better way to accomplish this? So I want the remote nas communicate with my local nas(es)

I bought my first NAS the DS920+ and am worried about getting locked into Synology. Couple questions: If my NAS crashes 10 years down the road - not the drives but if the controller hardware fried itself - would I need another Synology NAS to recover my data? Can I buy a non-Synology NAS...

Something very odd is happening with Active Backup. I used AB to backup a DS920+ to a DS918+ (I also have a hyper backup on eSATA becasue beta ;-). I upgraded the disks in the 920 to 4K sector size and did a bare metal restore. It worked great, wire speed limited, everything back as expected...

Hi I have a couple of nas drives one a DS920+ used for plex and photos i also have a DS418 which is used for surveillance station on a single drive. I was wondering if it would be possible to use the 3 spare bays on the 418 to insert and remove drives much like you can with a pc adding files...

Looking for recommendations for a good backup software. I have a Windows PC (approx 16TB of data) and couple iPhones and iPads (approx 3TB data) in the family. Ideally, I'm looking to backup all these on my DS920+. Which software would you recommend? My preferences: I don't have a problem...

Hello admin / all: I'm new to the forum, but have a relatively specific question I'm hoping someone might have some insight for. I could not find a similar post or question here and wasn't sure where to post this. Maybe HW & SW Compatibility? I'm not a power NAS/Networking user, but know just...

I am currently using Hyper backup to make rsync backups to a windows 10 computer acting as a file server. For some reason the job continues to lock up the computer when it runs and needs manual onsite intervention to force re-boot it. The rsync program that is being used is DeltaCopy v1.4. This...

I didn't want to thread jack, so I figured I would ask here separately. Which is better for backing up your nas to another local nas? HB or the new ABB? I am currently using HB, I have never needed to restore (thank god) its just an insurance policy, but with the new ABB being able to do this...

Hi All, over the past few weeks, since updating my NAS to DSM 7.1 42661 (1) which i did because of a Netatalk CVE, i have seen a massive increase in the amount of errors im seeing when backup up SQL DBs to my NAS. During the time, i also shifted the folder i created for the backups, to another...
