It's not that I am being a model "low storage" customer so that CrashPlan can function.
In fact I have a ~3GB folder in Dropbox that I have named "Emergency Backup" and if all is lost I might be happy with just that. I don't even store my code on CrashPlan servers - for that's there gitlab and bitbucket (mirrored there) and my external hard disk. No, not all mails - most of them are left with Google, MS, on my VPS and if they are gone, I am not gonna miss them terribly. I use it strictly for "personal" and critical data that I cannot recover or get from anywhere else once lost - personal pics, personal videos, my notes - diary, some mails. Never backed up more than 30-50GB at a time and it's not gonna dramatically change at all in the near future. I'll post with my experiences with BB as I move forwards.īTW.~7 yrs at CrashPlan. I already have a local USB backup of everything so if I decide BB isn't for me I'll just delete the archive and cancel my sub, and move on to something else (admiraltictac's suggestion seems intriguing as I really dont need this for repeated restores, just disaster recovery, and I love the idea of a remote second synology, but I literally have no where to host it, but it's intriguing nonetheless). Admittedly, since it's mostly my photo archive, it's a lot of small files (over 20,000) so possibly it's the client side encryption thats slowing this down, but man I figured it would be long done by now. It's been running for 2 days and so far has uploaded 2GB.
The issue I'm having so far is the initial backup speed. Backblaze had good reviews, decent pricing (approx $45\year for my needs) and also offered client side encryption. I decided to use Backblaze B2 with Hyperbackup client. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, lots of good information here. However, it's file by file, so if you have 10,000 files you're backing up, it will be a pain to restore (you'd have to decrypt each file individually). Price is a factor but not the most important one, although some providers are way out there on prices for even smaller amounts of storage space.ĬloudSync can encrypt locally before uploading to the cloud. I will be setting up a fairly basic schedule for a couple of folders to be backed up on a regular basis I want the encryption to take place on the NAS before transmission and\or for the storage provider to be unable to decrypt Can anyone chime in with their experiences with whatever software they're using? My needs are fairly simple: I was trying out IDrive but had an issue with my free account that took their support 3 days to respond to, so no thanks to trusting them with my backups. I have a 1TB plan with OneDrive but the configuration options on the Synology app leave a lot to be desired. I'm now backing up locally but am looking for a recommendation for a cloud-based solution. I recently had a power failure on my Synology NAS which resulted in some data loss.
