I’m curious if this or other tools can help me with the following use case:
I have a Synology network attached storage.
What I want is a way for me to incrementally back up to Synology when I’m on my local network/VPN, while Synology maintains an encrypted cloud backup of my stuff.
Alternatively when I’m outside of my network travelling, my laptop is backing up directly to the cloud with a way to sync that up with Synology.
In other words, I want to have a synchronized local and offline backup that works seamlessly whether I’m on my network or outside of it.
Is that a reasonable expectation?
Does a tool like that exist?
- ethanpil 5y agoYou can setup Zerotier on your NAS and your computer (and Phone, etc) and things will always stay connected via an internal ip no matter where you are. I have been using this setup for several years. Best part is it works with any software running on the computer or Dockers, etc on the NAS. I bought a second (cheap,slow) NAS and installed it off-site (away from home) and I keep a full off-site mirror of my NAS. Use any tools you want, syncthing, rsync, smb, NFS... It's all just internal IPs routed via ZeroTier.
