Comments: The biggest problem Backblaze solved was that when we had previously used another company for backing up files (which was a more cloud based system) we lost files when a staff member deleted files thinking our main account was linked to them. When in fact the files were lost because they were the original author. This was a huge loss of time having to rewrite manuals and operating documents. Cloud Sync is a free Synology tool built into Synology DiskStation Manager. Now when we have a staff member leave we have them condense their files and transfer it to my computer as the Operations Director and I can make sure they are backed up and as needed given to new staff when the time comes. The other benefit is everything runs in the background automatically. Gone are the days when we would plug in a harddrive for back up and were lucky to remember to do it once a month.įirst of all you just can't beat their price for this type of automatic back up system. On Synologys end, the companys spokesperson said the warning labels affect 'devices supporting WDDA, which includes models with model numbers ending in -13 to -21 that are operating on DSM 7.0. Most platforms I had researched either had size limits or cost much more. For a small non-profit we were so happy (and able to sleep better at night) knowing if our computer crashed we would be safe and able to keep going. You can specify your Backblaze credentials in the Target tab. Ideally something that can run on Android, Windows, and a Synology NAS. I want to backup my personal docs/photos/videos somewhere in the cloud. I currently just do manual backups onto another drive, and have all my phone pics backed up on Google. We have had a slight issue w/ backing up our harddrive because we travel to different venues and use that same harddrive for our video footage. Synology Hyper Backup supports S3-compatible backup destinations, and Backblaze is S3-compatible. 1 Ive been too lazy for a long time to backup my stuff.
