To give you a quick rundown if you don’t fancy reading the full linked article above, until now my process has involved local drives with a second copy being made using FreeFileSync, an excellent fully manual way to synchronize data in Windows. I hope that this will be a rundown that can be useful to others in a position of looking for a more robust solution for their data storage. So far it’s been a great investment and a simple solution to my archiving and backup needs. So, rather than doing that I decided to walk you through the problem I had and how I solved it with this unit. you could check that out as well.This article began its life as a review of the QNAP TR-004, but quickly descended into a specsheet. I saw amazon has a cost competitive plan similar to crashplan/hubic. It's by far the best option for file-level backups of NASs in terms of cost. I'd also LOVE to see B2 as a storage option. It makes for a very interesting bit of history. Regardless of service competition, I'd highly recommend reading their blog. You may be surprised to learn that Backblaze was the original 5$/mth unlimited provider, long before everyone else, when CrashPlan was still charging $10+ for a few hundred GB of storage.Įven during the Thailand flooding which drove up the cost of HDDs significantly, when every other provider had increased pricing as a result, Backblaze kept their 5$/mth unlimited pricing and managed to survive unscathed. B2 is an online storage mechanism akin to Amazon's S3 service, or RackSpace's CloudFiles, etc…ĬrashPlan is a backup system, which Backblaze also offers as their primary service.
