Synology backup of data online
Hi,
I have a Synology DS918+ and a backup to a disk and to another Synology Disk Station (Hyper Backup). However, I noticed the backup to the other Disktation didn't happen for quite some time.
How can I make sure backup is done online, easies way and for the least price or even free (I'm backing up max. about 4 TB of which little changes).
Do I use Azure, Glacier, OneDrive, other?
Note: is there a way to detect ransomware (cryptolocker) in time?

Dont see Blackblaze as backup option In Synology Hyper backup?
Its there in our Synology units.

It s not there in Hyper backup, it IS in cloud backup. But you don t want cloud backup, you want hyperbackup.
Anyway, i gave it a try. Half an hour I tried all possible combinations to generate the app id and other id, and whatever (no clue what they are, I don't want to read again a book how to backup and what the features are, just need a plain, simple backup solution).
Gave up, couldn't login with any combination of ids. Anyway, one day they ll send a mail that they stop the company and I won't see it and loose the backup anyway. I ll better go for other straight forward solutions.

Yes, because it's a Cloud Backup option!
It seems simple enough for us, there are many other solutions, Azure, Google, AWS - Backblaze is the cheapest of them all.

If I would have know they key pair should be generated (the existing can't be used) and is only shown once, it would have saved me quite some frustrations.
A cloudbackup option that doesn't give any flexibility in backup: you can only schedule in a week period, you don't have the option to backup intelligent = 1x day/1x week/1x month. Things that hyperbackup has and obviously is much more interesting. Also the window of backup you can set doesn't give the option to say 'run first backup fully', so if you limit it to 3 hours, you will never be sure the backup is fully done.
This cloud backup also doesn't give you versioning (or does it) which f.e. a OneDrive does.
I have already a local backup solution, I don't need a continuous backup. It's only a backup of a backup: when my NAS would fail AND my local disk would die or corruption occur I 'd go for the online backup.

Backblaze gives versioning, Cloud Backup is a Synology function.
I've found that wasabi.com is cheaper than amazon s3 (and they don't charge for egress)
Ransomware.. The only solution is offline backups
Your initial sync will take relatively forever
