I'm a super brand new NAS user; I just got my first machine (Synology DS1821+; thanks for recommending this unit for video creation). Super great videos!!! I started on your 2024 Setup Guides. I'm on a MacBook Pro, and I'm starting to get lost in this video because you're using Windows (beginning at the 7:45 timestamp). Do you recommend I watch some other tutorials that cater to Macs? I've been learning a lot from your channel, but now I'm second-guessing whether this is the right move for me because of the learning curve on a Mac. Your thoughts and/or suggestions. Thank you!
Just got my DS1821+ and populated 5 bays with 22TB Seagate Ironwolf pro drives. Also added 2 TB WD SN850 NVMe for cache and 10 Gbe pci card. I’m debating what to do with the last 3 bays: either go 3 SSD or just put another 3X 22TB Seagate ironwolf pros. Can’t wait to watch all the videos in this series to learn more about my new NAS.
I have my NAS set up nicely and I even have it getting backed up to a remote location via a Tailscale application. However, I am confused on what application I need for backing up, and syncing a few folders from my PC to the NAS. I am currently using Microsoft Synctoy. I have read about Active Sync for business, as well as Synology Drive. Which is the best to go with?? If I simply want an automated backup of my computer folders to my NAS, what is the best way to go?? Thank you !!!
I'm definitely interested in a backup NAS for my current QNAP NAS but specifically with the capability to backup to a remote location. I see that Synology NAS software does support backing up a QNAP NAS to a remote Synology NAS but I'm unimpressed by the hardware Synology offers for the price. I guess with Synology it's more about their software suite for the price. Does QNAP have same capabilities specifically regarding remote NAS backup/sync?
@@allenbuyck7957 - Given the expense of a Synology NAS just for backups I was thinking of going the Tailscale route. Do you think it's a good solution?
I'm going to be moving my second NAS to my parents in the near future and my plan is to use tailscale. I use a wireguard VPN server for accessing my home network when away from home but there isn't an easy way of getting the wireguard client on synology DSM. There is a synology app for tailscale so I think it's the path of least resistance and should be good from a security perspective.
a nas to nas back up utilizing synology or rsync wouldnt give us usable folders would it? it would give us a hyperbackup style file .hbk that contains everything within it? i want to backup my nas to a remote offsite nas weekly/monthly but allow the files to be used on that nas as they would on the local one. something akin to sync i guess
I need chapter 2 and would label all your chapters in sequence. Please

Is there away to get Synology Drive working on DSM 6.2 or a work around. ??

Thoughts on Tailscale to run a backup to second NAS ???
Did you watch the recent Hardware Haven video?
I did not. I will check k out. I am using Tailscale but was curious what other’s thoughts were

I am running it and love it. I have a second NAS at a relative's house and run a backup of my home NAS once per week. works great !!

Rsync certainly sounds like what you want.
