Glad you brought this up. I use a NAS drive as a mapped network drive, that's cloud synced with one drive for business, and I also have that NAS doing hyper backup to both Google Drive and a local plugged in external HD.
There was a sync problem that I had to address but before that I went to check to see if I could download the backup from Google Drive (this is very slow for larger backups) and open with hyper explorer to restore all the files at least to my computer so I could provide end users with what they need.
Once the .zip file completed and the many parts downloaded and extracted I went to open the backup file with hyper explorer. Everything looked good but of course I need to test a true restore so I want to see if I could save a pdf and open it.
"partial file restored" - guess what it couldn't open.
That sent me into a panic. Now nothing was lost or down because the cloud sync was the only thing having issues so everyone could still work and properly access the NAS but now I'm thinking "great my backup wasn't a backup because it's useless."
I'm currently in the midst of trying to figure out what to do now, the external works but I wanted the offsite hyper backup to be my savior in case of a flood/fire or external HD failure.
