My main reasons for upgrading were to use the new Synology Photos package for automated phone photo backup, the improved Storage Manager, and performance improvements. My DS412+ missed the cut so is stuck at 6.2. I have two Synology NASes and I have upgraded my DS415+ that is supported by DSM7. If you’ve got a Synology NAB, I would recommend C2 as a cost effective off-site backup that doesn’t require a huge amount of tech savvy to set up. So thus far the C2 option is very easy for backup and restoration. The easy option of giving my telco another $15 a month (about 7 pounds) took me to 1Gb/s down, and about 400Mb’s up, fixing that particular problem. The only thing I had to change was my broadband plan a 100Mb’s download plan (which ran at about 25Mb/s up) would have taken around 11 days to run the first backup. This also means that if you want to go to an older version of a modified file you just go to the backup prior to the change you want to revert). Each backup set shows the total file store (so you don’t need to restore a series of backups). I’ve used HyperBackup (which as your would expect integrates natively with C2), running a nightly differential backup.Ĭ2 with HyperBackup works similar conceptually to TimeMachine. I’ve bought a subscription to Synology C2 (which is around US$70 per year per terabyte). I’ve got a 6 monthly repeating reminder in my calendar to take another backup to a USB drive, which I keep elsewhere in the house.īut being properly paranoid, I decided to give cloud backups a try. I run a Synology 218+, which I backup each night to an older 4 bay ReadyNAS that I keep down in the workshop. As an aside whilst we’re on the topic of Synology, talking with the insurance company a couple of weeks ago about my CD collection got me thinking that if I lost all the CDs (there’s about 2800 of them) I would be sad, but I would be devastated if I lost all of the rips of them I’ve got on the NAS.
