As a new NAS user of barely a week with my new NAS still being configured. And likely for a while in setup. I’m finding these Webinars extremely helpful and in learning my way around the new environment and just how all these software plugins do what they do in understanding. Quite a bit a learning process.
So couple things they missed. First have a separate user account to for backups. Of course the default admin account should be disabled. No user accounts should have access to the back up system or the backup drives themselves. My account I use for admin does not even have access to the backup system. He talked about two ways ransomware can attack the system. There is another way mail attachment. I have experienced this on two Synology systems. One the end user brought to work a laptop that had already been infected with ransomware thru a word document attachment in his e-mail. This laptop had been connected to the system for about 20 minutes before I was called and informed some files would not open on the system. I quickly determined it was ransomware and after looking at the file change log I was able to determine the account and suspend it. Once on site I was able to clean the laptop of ransomware. I was then able to use the recycle bin system on the NAS to recover all the files that had been changed that day by this user. (Key component users do not have access rights to recycle bins and again they do not have access to backup devices.) Four hours of work and the system and files were back in place and clean. No ransom paid.
Doug, how would you set up the separate user account for the backups? What is your set up like in that? Anyway I could pick your brain knowledge on this?
I am a simple domestic customer who uses my Synology for streaming hi fi, storing and playing videos and maintaining secure storage of family pictures. For my part I would like to see Synology developing a webinar program focused on this new and growing group of amateurs - I don't have an IT department! Using current webinar materials I have stumbled my way to a usable system but I am sure that I have missed over 50% of the functions available. I would be interested to see the statistical breakdown of us 'domestic users'. Here is the title for the program 'Synology for Dummies' think there might be copyright issues with this.
Active Backup for Business is great! But please check the performance for file servers. Backing up by ssh is limited to 5MB/s wich is super low. There are a lot of people with that problem out there. Also a lot of forum threads describing this. Please Synology! Help us and try to fix that issue!
Auf Deutscherspache wäre super und ich froh gewesen. Zumindest mit Untertitel auf Deutsch. Vielleicht klappt's beim nächsten mal. Besten Dank im voraus.
Awesome video. The format is great, imo. I do have a question: When connected to the VPN and visiting the set IP, it looks like my connection doesn't have the padlock/ssl certificate- Is that normal/okay?
Hi on my 1819+ while two replication tasks are configured, I have to wait the first compleat before the second begins. Is there a concurrent limitation tasks ? If so, one by one is poor for remote backups...
Is there easy way to find out what is snapshot (or replicated snapshot) size of iSCSI volume? If we have situation that our files are suddenly encrypted, we can easy find out by snapshot size, which snapshot contains healthy files. It would be very useful, if Synology can display snapshot size right next to description...
th-cam.com/channels/lGTkNbwvHyPMRl_s55xxYQ.html you ll find some of my presentation, as i thought it would be good for some people. They are in the description :)
Everyone is a hacker. If it weren't for hackers, we would not have wifi. We wouldn't have cameras. We wouldn't have many things that we take for granted today. Criminals are the ones that give hackers bad names. Criminals are the ones who are breaking into systems and stealing information and creating data breaches. Criminals are the ones who are stalking people and bad context and stealing from others who don't belong, not hackers. And so it's been said before and here I am saying it too, right? Hackers are not bad people. The criminals are bad people, but hackers, nah.
Does anyone actually pay to get their data back? How incredibly stupid are businesses to not have backups. I have that level of security just for my own personal cloud at home.
Seriously, no option to ARCHIVE TO OFFLINE DEEP WORM STORAGE makes me think Synology either doesn’t care, or won’t hire an actual systems engineer who understands SOHO workflow. 🤦🏻♂️
Synology should give us an option to set files(systems) to WORM, with major hoops that can only reenable write ability via LOCAL ACCESS to the NAS. Also, WTF is Wrong with Synology completely ignoring the CRITICAL NEED to back up the NAS to a pile of cheap USB hard drives?!? ie: A volume spanning incremental backup system that doesn’t require tens of thousands of dollars worth of enterprise tape drive equipment (or Synology’s preference, another Synology NAS!) Come on Synology!! tar *almost* does volume spanning backups, but won’t reliably do incrementals to that set. MAJOR FAIL!
Mit deutscher E-Mail angekündigt, aber dann in englisch vorgetragen. Ist unser Geld welches wir für die Laufwerke bezahlen so wenig wert, das man unsere Sprache nicht für wichtig hält?
Please make these long format educational webinar a regular thing, extreemly informative.
Cheers Rowdy, killed it!
Please also Include a link to the technical document that we can read in two minutes to glean the information. 😉
I tried to do that :)

@@synologysecurity Thank you! No idea how I have missed your channel, the ring has been rang :)
@@Cluni-80s aha thank you very much. But it is a very small channel, so I am not always on the top of the list 😅

This is the kind of stuff I want to see more of. I wasnt even aware of these features and I owned and used Synology for last 5-6 years now.
I recently upgraded from a very old Synology product. This video was informative, but a lot of information. More like this please!

Great overview. Now I really understand the backup options. Please make more of these! Thx!
Good Stuff! Thanks Ronald Weasley!

If used Active Backup for Business for backup VMs ob ESXi free version. Is secure for Ramsomware ? Or recommed is ESXi comercial version,

the ransonware protection is on any synology device for server?

I'm here after Qnap.
Good video, but could be conveyed in a document that would take 2min to read instead of 28min to watch (14 on 2x speed ;-)

Hi, where can I find that video - DSM Security Checklist?
th-cam.com/video/KkiRcH5TG28/w-d-xo.html
Just give us dsm7 final already
So they only suggesting backup. No better than qnap
Maybe here a lot of infos :)

Some are ransomware related and the solution isn't only backup :)
replace the term "hacker" in this context as "cyber criminal", is more accurate.
