Do you think Hyper Backup or Snapshots is a better option for backing up 1 synology to another. Using the Active Backup For Business for all of our VMs
Surveillance Station is a SOLID security camera platform. Active Backup for Business has saved by bacon more than once, and it definitely worth setting up. Remember, Microsoft is ultimately NOT responsible for your data! You have to make your own backups. If they have a fire at their data center, or a cyber attack, or whatever else, your data can be destroyed beyond recovery. Your local backup of critical business data could be the only thing between you and the unemployment line.
Any chance you could make an updated install guide for Nextcloud on TrueNAS Scale? A lot has changed since your last video with the introduction of the Nextcloud 2.0.x and the release of TrueNAS Scale 24.04.x-Dragonfish.
Cute dogs.
Tailscale doesnt' work well for me because my pfsense firewall doesnt' have UDP hole punching enabled. I know I can enable it but not sure if I want to. Would be nice if Tom did a video on the security implications of enabling UDP hole punching in pfSense for tailscale.
Thanks Tom. I prefer Mikrotik for home-lab/home-pro, or Netgate if you must for business reasons.
Do you still use the Synology camera you reviewed a while back? How has it been holding up? Do you prefer Unifi protect or Synology surveillance station with their cameras? Thanks
@7:30 re Active Backup for Business: "Unfortunately the Linux backup on this is not great". Yeah, it's really not great.
When I was all-in on Windows, I used to pay for Backblaze for each Windows machine. I'm looking for something as easily set-and-forget as that for Linux Desktop machines.
Do you have any suggestions on what to use for Linux backup?
I keep getting told "Oh, just use rsync set up a crojob" or something like that. But it's still not fantastic – and if it fails, there's no error reporting unless I go build it.
I've tried Duplicati – but similar issues there, and it can't back up files that are locked (like sqlite DBs).
I'd love something that can do the equivalent of Volume Shadow Copies from Windows/NTFS on Linux. I believe LVM Snapshots should be equivalent, this avoids the locked files/inconsistent state issues, but I have not yet found anything like it.
Actually like your synology reviews quite a bit..don't like the synology hardware as much unfortunately..really outdated hardware for a premium price. But the software features are really good
Nice overview of some of the great applications on the Synology NAS. Linux may present a problem for Active Backup for Business, but I completely recovered my wife's Mac after a hardware problem earlier this year. I would like to leave you a "like", but the button stopped working today. I am not doing anything abnormal (haven't even had the computer on for most of the day). Since Susan is dead now, one would think YouTube's anti-user, anti-creator crap would have stopped!
Tom, i do like your content a lot, and i think youre a good creator and teacher. But i just wish you would focus more on "open" software, like OpnSense vs pfSense, and things like TrueNAS or unRAID vs Synology etc… i know you already covered the pfSense vs OpnSense stuff (sort of), but just in general, i wish you would take into account the more open solutions more. Personally i dislike pfSense (Netgate, the company, not the software), and i am not a fan of closed system devices like Synology NAS or QNAP etc, but i still follow your channel for a long time now and i enjoy your videos. Just some feedback.

Frigate > Synology SS
But to each their own at the end of the day. Respect to all who self host
1 year cost to backup our Gsuite data with a online backup service (quoted out several) cost more than the Synology cost for us (with drives).
I use OpenZFS for backups and snapshots. Even the command line is elegant and easy to use. I know, because I used CLI and JCL since 1969 🙂
I play the wma copies of my LPs and CDs with WoW and TrueBass effects 🙂 That VirtualBox VM (512 MB) of Windows XP Home has been installed and activated in March 2010. It survived 2 VBox owners; 3 desktops and 4 CPUs 🙂 🙂
Symology is abandoning home users w/ horrible spec machines, insistent on 1gb LAN and lack of Intel CPUs for media servers.
