![]() Even better, if the Synology dies and I don’t or can’t replace it, I can still get at these files through Arq. In favor of Arq is that I have used it for years, I have restored data with it, and know it works and is reliable. I have thinking of two solutions: Either mount the shares to the laptop and have Arq back them up to Wasabi or B2 or whatever, OR use Synology’s HyperBackup utility to either Wasabi or Synology’s C2 storage. I don’t have to backup any folders that are part of SynologyDrive since they are backed up to the cloud from the laptop. The amount of storage space is large, but with the exception of the SynologyDrive shares, it changes infrequently (so I could consider Amazon Glacier for cost savings). What I want is a good and low maintenance approach for backing up the Synology. For my sole current Mac, my 14" MBPro, I use both BackBlaze and Arq to Wasabi. I would like a cloud backup of all of this stuff, just in case. – Old clones of previous Macs, which I keep because I have had occasion to discover files that “went missing” (yes, I figured out why, and it was my mistake, but still they were missing) and which I restored from old CCC clones. ![]() – “Archival” storage for a fair amount of data that I don’t really need on my laptop, like archived software distributions that I cannot easily reobtain but might need, and all of the archived files from my previous medical practice after I sold it. – Plex server, with a share where all of my media is stored (I don’t keep any media on the laptop since it is easily accessed via Plex whether home or away) ![]() – Target for a daily CCC clone of my laptop’s SSD – SynologyDrive which is my Dropbox replacement (possibly less useful now that I have gone laptop-only, but I do have a shared folder with my wife’s iMac as well, and it does allow me to use the iOS and iPadOS apps to access my files as well) I have a Synology which I use several major functions: ![]() Off topic, but I suspect a fair number of us have Synology or similar NAS devices, so I thought I would seek input here. ![]()
