I'm just trying to benefit from your experience and in doing so, perhaps enlighten the next backer-upper.ĮDIT: The title question should have read "Why" do so many Synology users avoid using Cloud Station Backup? Also, if you're a user with a similar basic backup need as mine, I'd liked to hear any positive / negative feedback. That said, before I get too far down the backup garden path, I'd rather someone stop me before I start backing up the bigger (music and video) files, if there are some legitimate concerns. I know some of this is likely child's play for many, but I'm just a home user that wants a fairly simple backup that once established, will sync and mirror. and that since your opting to image with a 3rd party application, then you may use it for incremental file back up as well? ![]() Is the main reason that these 3rd party applications do a much better job at backing up the actual (in this case Win 7) PC image?. I also get that there are users looking to backup from Synology NAS to another Synology NAS, or desiring the further reassurance of online backup (Crashplan, Amazon glacier, etc.) but why is there a propensity for users to use 3rd party clients like Acronis True Image, AOMEI Backupper, Easeus Todo Backup and others? (.the last of which I still might try). I've disabled versioning and set up my first backup of My Documents which included ebooks. With the exception of the "versioning" issue (if the default is left at 32 versions), does it really work that badly? I guess I might just have to learn the hard way. I thought getting the NAS was the one way to simplify the backup process and have peace of mind (by running RAID 1). While I get that everyone has a unique backup situation (business versus home, critical data, security, etc.), I've read through tons of "backup" posts both here within r/Synology and elsewhere on the net and was amazed at how little positive support there was for the included Cloud Station Backup software. Without delving into all of the other possibilities of a NAS, my priority was backing up files (audiobooks, ebooks, documents, music, photos, video and DAW recordings) from Win 7 64 (Home) and other shared drives to NAS. DSM 6.0 released a few days after I bought it before I really set anything up, so I just updated everything this weekend. I didn't have a lot to spend but I was getting paranoid about eventually losing data and so I recently bought a new DS214. I spent a couple of nights consolidating and organizing folders so that the eventual backup would be more tidy. I've been wanting to get a more organized backup up solution in place here at home and I admit, I'm new to strategizing how to best go about this.
