Using cloud backup with your network-attached storage ensures that you have your data not only locally on your Synology NAS but also in the cloud for added protection. The good news is that there are a number of leading backup providers on the market that are compatible with your Synology. If you own a Synology DiskStation, you may wonder which cloud backup services are compatible with it. 100TB no problem.Although a Synology device is a superb way to back up your business or home's data, it is not completely unsusceptible to failure. But I was told by a sales rep that it actually is unlimited. I’ve had great luck with backblaze using unlimited backups and Dropbox now has a truly unlimited plan when you have their business plan with 3 users which comes out to about $50 a month. You can only delete the entire backup set and start over. They just tried to charge my credit card $1300 for going 2TB over.Īnd I even went in and tried to delete old backups and you can’t. With no pricing posted anywhere on overage charges nor even a invoice. And when you go over your limit they start billing you. And if you have say a NAS that auto deletes old NVR video files and records new ones, it doesn’t let you purge old backups or mirror the NAS, it just keeps adding. But they have no way of managing the size of your backups. They have great offers all the time such as a 5TB year plan I signed up for.

The solution for me was to download much smaller groups of folders, which really did make it painful. So if you've got a Mac, test it out before you ever need it - try downloading a folder or group of folders that have lots of small files and totals 50-60gb, and see if it changes your file names. I worked with Backblaze and we came to the conclusion above - that it's just a difference between Backblaze's implementation of 'zip' and macOS's implementation of it. When I tried to unzip files that were up to the maximum size Backblaze allowed, the file names were replaced with seemingly random encoded letters, like '%A3'.

The restore was extremely painful - there's a size limit for zip files, so you have to choose groups of folders that's fine (as long as you make a note of where you got to!) - but there's a difference between how Backblaze makes zip files and how macOS unzips them.

I've done a huge restore from Backblaze personal - I got a new Mac Mini and decided to restore all my personal files. Backblaze B2 is S3-compatible, has been very reliable for me, and is pretty much the cheapest solution for volume storage. It will supports several targets, including S3-compatible services.

It will backup your apps, configurations, and data. If you want a real backup, you'll want to use Synology's HyperBackup.

Backblaze Personal restore is 'we send you a set of ZIPs and you'll need to decompress it and put it back in place.' You'll need double the space to restore everything, and you'll be doing manually.

At best, it will be janky trying to get a VM to see your data as local and go through that to back things up, much less test it for restoring.

Not a lot of point in backing up to a service that may suddenly cancel your data access. If you are interested in being able to restore the whole NAS, a data-only solution will not work. Even if you find a way, you really don't want to do it: Backblaze doesn't want you to use Backblaze Personal for NAS storage. You'll have to do some major contortions to figure out a solution.
