I prefer visual status of backups as opposed to log files and alike. It may be possible to setup a Linux based, command-line backup tool on the NAS directly, but I find those cumbersome to use and they don't provide a lot of visibility or transparent information. Thus, it seems the only feasible option is to use a desktop client while connected to the NAS via a SMB or similar share. I looked at Cloud Berry as a client but like others do not want to rely on a discontinued, "as-is" native QNAP client. However there are options under the B2 settings for each "Bucket" that you create that allow for adjusting the lifecycle of the files, to a degree. That means just about everything is up to the client (encryption, de-duplication, etc). Like a network share in the cloud almost. The downside is that you need to use your own client to upload to B2 as it's just raw cloud storage space and nothing else. I have come to the conclusion that Backblaze B2 is the cheapest (depending on amount of storage you need) and in most cases best option. I have been investigating this pretty heavily the past week or so. Who is using Backblaze B2 or iDrive here with QNAP and can share some experience? IDrive seems to be good as well, they seem to have a app for QNAP and I guess they are storing the Data encrypted on their Servers and have a Android mobile app as well.īut it seems that the apps are not working very good? I heard that some poeple had issues with their Backups and especially with the restore of the Data.Īlso it seems that the support from iDrive is not really good and not fast to answer questions? Seems a bit unseriously or? I read that it is possible to activate encryption in the Hybrid Backup Sync app but that is not the best way to do or? And on Backblaze B2 the data is not saved encrypted on their Servers like it is with Crashplan or? That would be nice to have. Is that working well? I read somewhere that there were some issues with Hybrid Backup Sync. But they dont have an own App for QNAP so I need to use Hybrid Backup Sync on my QNAP for this. īackblaze B2 will be quite cheap for me for storing my amount of Data so that is good. I took a look at Backblaze B2 and iDrive. With so many cloud-based storage services in place (OneDrive, Box, etc.) I’m more likely to switch to one of those services for day-to-day usage and use the NAS in a different manner than initially intended.I am trying to figure out which Cloud Service I should chose now after Crashplan for Home.Ĭrashplan for small Business sounds good and would be the easiest to migrate as well but it costs much more then other Services and I even have not much data to Backup (20-30 GB only). It’s really made me think twice about buying products from them again, despite the fact that I’ve done so for well over a decade.
