I already have local backups of many of these files, but want something offsite in the case of a fire or disaster at home. My goal is simple: backup my entire daily use computer and some external drives with photos and videos. I am having trouble trying out Backblaze, with frequent pauses of my initial upload for no clear reason that I haven't been able to resolve yet with my Backblaze support ticket and on Reddit. Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context. On Fridays we'll allow posts that don't normally fit in the usual data-hoarding theme, including posts that would usually be removed by rule 4: “No memes or 'look at this '”

Their support people are friendly enough, but I no longer trust C2 to have a non-corrupted backup if I need it.We are digital librarians. I went with C2 because it was the default, and there was nobody but Synology to blame if something went wrong. It's time to find a provider where that doesn't happen.įor the third time in about 3 years, my C2 backups are corrupted. I just blew away the backup and re-created it myself. And then, after a few days, they announced that I'd just have to re-create the backup anyway. I understand why, but that just feels really shady. They wanted me to give them my backup encryption keys and local NAS access through the built in support tool.

I've done the rounds with Synology support in the past.

I only noticed because I logged in for something else and wanted to be sure that no backups were running. I don't know whether it didn't notify me at all, or whether the notification ended up in my spam folder. Hyper Backup noticed a month ago that the destination was corrupted and then stopped making new backups. Does anyone have a backup provider (Backblaze, Google, Amazon, etc.) that they're happy with? In particular, have you tested a restore with that provider?
