This is completely unacceptable to me for a backup. ![]() Also a number of recent threads with horror stories of restoring from CP (search for them): lost/corrupted data, archives inexplicably and irrevocably unavailable in a disaster recovery scenario etc. One thing to keep in mind is that CP is clearly cracking down on this use-case and keeps closing off ways in which people have been running their app on NAS boxes. The VM approach would be a feasible solution on the face of it, though the docker image has been kept well up to date in my past experience. Configure CrashPlan to create offsite backups of the mounted shares.Ĭould this be a feasible solution to the problem described above?.Mount the desired NAS shares on the virtual machine (this will make the shares available to the virtual machine's file system).Install CrashPlan on the virtual machine.Allocate a sufficient amount of RAM to the virtual machine (CrashPlan is based on Java and eats up a lot of RAM). ![]() Install a Windows 10 or Ubuntu virtual machine on the NAS using the Virtual Machine Manager.Should we circumvent this problem by following the steps below? IMHO, it looks like a makeshift solution that may stop working if the developer decides to abandon the project. The following Docker solution, which seems to be maintained by only one person, appears to be the only one that works currently: The problem, however, is that CrashPlan is nowhere to be found in the Package Center on DSM v6.2.3 even if you set the trust level to "any publisher".Ī compatible version of CrashPlan used to be available at, which is a community source, but the package no longer works properly. Currently, we use CrashPlan as our online backup and file hosting service. We have a Synology NAS with a whopping 64 GB of RAM, and we'd like to dedicate the NAS to handling all offsite backups. To me, Wasabi is a game changer, and the best answer for data backup.I've already asked this elsewhere, but for good measure, I'm posting it here too. So, the recovery Hard drive / USB is a nice feature but not needed in a great backup scheme. I won’t have to download them in case of a disaster but if all the other local sources do get destroyed by some freaky accident then I’ll still be covered. I have full customization on the type of backups I want to do and no cost to download them if needed. As long as they don’t increase my storage size. I can add more computers to the scheme for free. This way I have backup copies of my PC’s in 6 different locations with all of the price of roughly $90.32 / 15TB per month. I do use Macrium for computer backups, I do not trust HyperBackup. ![]() Wasabi -> Friends Synology (Fast internet) Wasabi -> Office Synology (Fast internet) I take the external with me when I go on trips or to work, I swap it out with another one so that there is always one connected. ![]() Windows or Linux.įrom xx PC -> Internal Hard HD just for backups Whether it be mobile, desktop, or server. I’m able to use great backup apps that are either free open source, or paid(macrium reflect) and use their awesome customizable features. Their software does not allow you to download a local copy of your backups of all PC’s. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to do this with BackBlaze easily and cost effectively. Instead of using my slow internet to transfer them via VPN to multiple locations. I’m able to utilize Wasabi as a backup storage and then download the backups to multiple locations so I can have verified/authentic copies of my backups. If you have less then 9 computers, then sure BackBlaze is where you should be, maybe.įor my setup at home, Wasabi is the cheaper option. Except for the first 30 days to get everything in order. No cost download or upload as long as your download size is under the current hosted size. Unlimited explained in their terms is data backup and restore and not file hosting. I’ve done quite a bit of research into this as I was doing a renovation of my digital life…
