Amazes me that one still has to be an expert to set these backup routines up. No matter how "easy" people make it look in these vids there's just no way my wife would be able to find, use or understand the things i setup would i wrap my car around a tree
Synology has a bunch of products that are all named with some combination of the words Cloud, Drive, Backup, Station, Synology, etc. ...I was so confused about what any of it actually did. Thanks for the video, Chris.
Not about your latest video - Fan letter. I am a total linux newb that's been binge watching your videos and trying to get a real understanding. I watch a lot of these instructional vids and you are tops, thank you. After a couple weeks of Mint, I decided to step up and try Arch. You're right, anyone suggesting that to a newb is a sadist. I ran away with my tail tucked, but remembered how highly you spoke of debian (GNU/Linux) I installed it, tweaked it, love it. But I ran into problems. HexChat pretty much told me to take off. I thought I'd reach out to you for help, and found your awesome people over at Discord Chris Titus Tech. They have walked me through crap that google couldn't for the last couple days, and not once even suggested that I pack it in. Great team over there, and thank you for everything. Love the channel, recommend it to my friends. Now, a little suggestion for an issue we both share ... Please do a video about installing OpenHMD on Debian! :D Sunrider
Chris, so after watching this what is the difference between "backing up" a folder on Synology Drive versus "backing up" a folder as a mirror copy on Active Backup? Is there any difference, I don't see one. Or is Active Backup just more bullet proof?
Hey Chris, What I'm looking for is something to clone my w10 laptop drive... I'm using Macrium right now, but wondering if you have a different/better recommendation. Great STuff! Saw a comment about you hating macs... I'll tell you that moving to a new laptop from an old one is night & day pc to mac...
Hey Chirs i hope you can reply to this but i used a Windows 10 debloater and it debloated Microsoft Store and i can't open regedit with search or anything
Type the following in your PowerShell: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
I use Backblaze for around 5 years now, fortunately never had a problem but a few days ago i had to recover 2 files and when searching for the files and sorting for the "around" date of upload i could not find the files. As i didn't remember the exact date of upload i had to search for around a week before then go searching day by day but never found the files.
Chris , I wouldn't sleep if I were you , first save your encryption key to a usb and put it in a safe , otherwise I think you have a false sense of security especially when trying to recover , looking good have a great one and keep smiling :-)
Can you please talk (or do a review) about Clear OS by Clear Center, it's an open source OS based on CentOS to make NAS servers and other things, and it has some features that Synology has like Dynamic DNS for free, and HP uses it for it's devices like the HPE Proliant.
nice , review , only why don't build your own nas if ure relay like linux...... just and idea ! here i have my own NAS 25 Tb , debian...clonezilla server rsync all my desktop's ! but i like this video, don't get me wrong !!
Yeah there is OpenMediaVault and FreeNAS that is pretty good. However, building your own would be a bit challenging for what I do. iSCSI and quite a few other advanced features would be a nightmare to setup.
@@ChrisTitusTech yeahidon't use openmediavault, freenas, ive build a NAS with debian only , no desktop , and pure the tools we have in the OS , only the RAID is hardware, the rest all setup on a bare debian 9.9, oooo yes ive install kvm 2 , and for backup i use clonezilla server, or rsync to make timed backup's, iSCSI not that hard to do stuff , in config.... i mean, i went the not easy way to build a nas, not click click click ok its running....... but sure your review is great , i like that device, very powerfull gear....
@@Innocentdarkness72 You dont have NAS, you *THINK* you have NAS. You have, however, some NAS functionality, which is cool as long as it suits your use case.
@@meyimagalot9497 true, but i enjoyed the quest to build somthing nice 2 x 10Gbit networked loadblandsed, Raid 10 , 8 core AMD cpu, overkill 128 giga ram memory , my box !!! it's only 25 tb , alle SSD 3.8 tb raid 10... and rsync everything to google cloud sad that's very very very slow service but hey it goes, ok .... installed kodi, can download torrents form my phone, it's a webserver, with webmin......you need more i can add alot more ......
If the drives are connected to your computer, then said computer must be powered up and disks mounted. Unless you are backing up an "external device" that is connected directly to the USB port on your NAS. Then the PC/Mac doesn't need to be running.
totally confusing video. not sure what target you are backing up (windows, mac, or linux). Can't tell when you are on the synology and when you are on the the target. plus you should start cold, with nothing installed.
I would recommend you to use AWS S3 glacier for archives. You'll be paying $0.004 per GB per month and it gives you 99.999999999% durability and 99.9% availability ( which is crazy ). And you don't have to deal with proprietary softwares and you just pay for what you use. You can mount your S3 bucket ( standard, not glacier ) on any linux distribution and can use aws-cli to automate everything. You can also encrypt-at-rest and in-transit using managed keys or use your own key if you want to encrypt before uploading. Your data is stored at 3 different places for redundancy purposes. Good luck. Read more for mounting: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FUSE

Chris is the man! Always good Videos - thank U. Greetings from Germany.
Chris, so after watching this what is the difference between "backing up" a folder on Synology Drive versus "backing up" a folder as a mirror copy on Active Backup? Is there any difference, I don't see one. Or is Active Backup just more bullet proof?
Using Active Backup for Business, does the workstation need to just be left on or does it need to be logged in and/or locked?
Chris - do you know if it's possible to run Syncthing on the Synology box?
Which cloud providers do you prefer? I'm not excited about the main ones (Google, Microsoft, etc) that have a political ax to grind. Thoughts?
Can you tell me why you use Cloud Sync instead of Hyper Backup?
Hey Chris, What I'm looking for is something to clone my w10 laptop drive... I'm using Macrium right now, but wondering if you have a different/better recommendation. Great STuff!

my 'backup' is an occasional cold partition dd
Hey Chirs i hope you can reply to this but i used a Windows 10 debloater and it debloated Microsoft Store and i can't open regedit with search or anything
Find the Store manually and reinstall what you need :-)
Type the following in your PowerShell: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Hi sir can Active backup connect with VPS ( vrtural private server ) use ip publish that give from cloud server company ? Thank so much sir

Hi, is it possible to turn off pc and leave Synology Nas backing up to cloud? Thanks
If the drives are connected to your computer, then said computer must be powered up and disks mounted. Unless you are backing up an "external device" that is connected directly to the USB port on your NAS. Then the PC/Mac doesn't need to be running.
Would rsync not be better for FreeNAS to Synology?

Oh no, my device does not support Active Backup :( It runs on 64bit machines only.
Bartosz Pakulski there is also a 32 bit version now
low tech.....right.....
Double upload
Nope!
This was just the backup portion of Synology which I didn't cover in yesterday's video
