After you create the first folder you can add more folders. On this page is where you start creating your synced folders. If you have a bigger BackBlaze account with multiple buckets you can choose which bucket to use. Once you put those 2 items in you’ll be able to select the bucket you created.

We are going to pick BackBlaze B2 and click Next to continue.įor BackBlack specifically they need the following items. Next open Cloud Sync and Click the + sign to add a vendor.Īs you can see there is a ton of vendors to choose from. So let’s focus on the Synology part of it.įirst, log into your Synology and open up Package Center.ĭownload and install the CloudSync Application. It’s a similar set up to any other vendor out there. Then you’ll need put that information into CloudSync. You create an account, create a bucket, and some encryption keys. I’m not going to go through the BackBlaze account setup because it’s pretty straight forward. Then I can just delete the BackBlaze container and reupload everything. This last step is a precaution just incase backblaze is comprised then what ever changes are made will not impact the NAS files. Lastly, in this configuration I will configuration not to download and changes from BackBlaze. More specifically I’m going to configure a one way sync to Backblaze and configure Backblaze to hold everything with version control. The connection can be a single direction or by directional.įor this process I choose to use Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage. You and sync a folder on your NAS to a folder in your onedrive account. CloudSync is mainly used for taking what is on the NAS and dumping it somewhere else or used to keep 2 locations in sync.

You configure a standard backup retention schedule like daily, weekly, monthly etc. Hyper Backup is mainly used to replicate a traditional backup software to a Cloud Storage location.All of them have their pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages, and different capabilities.īefore we go into configuring CloudSync lets break down Hyper Backup vs CloudSync first. There is a lot of options between CloudSync and Hyper Backup to create a backup of the NAS and now there is a lot of options for cheap cloud storage. Let back it up just incase the whole thing implodes (* knocks on wood). Now that we’ve set up the main services on the NAS and moved our files to it. We’ve made it to the last section of this project.
