Upon opening the package we are greeted with a ton of different cloud providers. If we search the DSM package library, we can see Cloud Sync is a package that might suit our needs, so lets install it and take a look. So knowing that let’s take a look at the free OneDrive backup package on the Synology. I store a lot of data in my OneDrive, including all the photos from my phones, our family photo library, out personal documents and even my software library chewing up around 700GB of my OneDrive storage (I might need to clean that one day) Remember when OneDrive had unlimited storage? So do I I was basically syncing a local copy of the live data as a “backup” I know its not… But, “ It will never happen to me… right?” WRONG. Like I mentioned before, my old backup solution wasn’t great. Thus today, I’m going to check out some of the free methods I can leverage my local storage to keep backups of my important data. The disks with backups on held other VM’s which meant they were always spinning. I was backing up the VMs to the same machine.Whilst I was backing up endpoints and VM’s.And I didn’t differentiate between infrequently changing data (Archives) and frequently Changing data.I didn’t back up my Teams or Sharepoint Sites.My Business OneDrive’s weren’t backed up at all.This actually caused an issue when I got ransomwared.My Personal OneDrive was “Backed up” my just syncing it to my server.Windows Server with the OneDrive client is not a backup My Personal OneDrive, for example, was me just syncing the whole lot to my Storage Server. My “backup” solution previously wasn’t exactly ideal. Especially as you need somewhere to store the data anyway!Īs I kinda alluded too in the previous article. But, there are no ongoing software costs, no license fees and no renewal fees to worry about. It’s not “Free” you still need to buy the NAS itself, put drives in and power it. Today we are continuing our adventures with my Synology DS920+ that was lovingly sent in for review a few months ago. G’day, and welcome back to UCMadScientist. Then, simply enter the password you created previously, select the file(s) you need to decrypt and select the destination folder that the files will restore to.My DS920+ there are many like it, but this one is mine To get around this, you'll need to decrypt the files with the Synology Cloud Sync Decryption Tool, which you can download from here.Īfter you download the tool and extract it from the zip folder, run it. You may see alerts that your program cannot open the file or that the file is corrupt. If you attempt to download your files from your bucket without decrypting them, you will not be able to open the files. If you are using a Mac computer, there is not an official way to decrypt files with encryption from Synology CloudSync. IMPORTANT: Currently, there is not a CloudSync Decryption tool for Mac OS X operating systems. It will not encrypt the files on the Synology device itself.Īfter you click the Next button, you will be prompted to create your encryption password: This option will only encrypt the files that are uploaded to B2. This option is available after you input your Account ID, Application Key, and specify the bucket that will be synced to. When setting up a sync for your B2 bucket to Synology CloudSync, you can select the option to encrypt your data.
