Feel free to add in any further ideas, questions, comments as they come. These are all fantastic questions and ideas. All options need to be exhausted before a collective 'no' can take place. Scripts would take care of the encryption upon sending out the files that are getting rsync'ed from the local NAS to the off-site - unfortunately in this discussion I have to show I've done my due diligence in researching the topic. Hardware changes made: Replace the Synology with a CentOS 7 VM running on an existing ESXi server, and install Plex on it. I’m concerned about SMB shares being trashed by a possible Cryptowall virus. File copying is slow, and videos occasionally stutter. The new purchase is made and the connection is re-established. The Synology server is embarassingly slow. If the NAS gets stolen from his house, it's simply a casualty of war. We don't have to worry about compliance standards at this point. In terms of timing, ideally the backup would take place generally in the late hours where folks in his house wouldn't be on some streaming service.

Critical data is also being backed up to tape so we would be able to go to that in case of an emergency. :) Thanks!Īs this is just a tier of our back-up plan. But we started rsyncing our rack-mounted linux file servers to a dump storage drive with less than an hour setup time and created a monster once we reported it to the CEO. We would continue to do tape backups because we own all of the equipment, it's relatively painless, and and it's a fixed cost. This would just be another layer of our DR. Is it as simple as opening up a port on the firewall on our end at specific times of backup, and the same on the off-site end? Security issues to this? Really just opening it up to the forum. I've seen it discussed on SW a ton, love the idea of it, but trying to figure out the specifics and looking for any tips on this should our company go this route. Our CEO has offered to have the off-site NAS at his house with another NAS in our server room getting data sent to it from multiple servers and then RSYNCing to the off-site box. While I'm currently looking into low-level Amazon options the thought was thrown out last week to inquire on an off-site NAS running rsync on our critical data (somewhere around 5-7TB). The push from the top has been to inquire about cloud based storage but the pricing has matched our budget. (Learn more)Our company currently runs a tape rotation off-site on a monthly basis with 6 months worth of server and workstation backup.

5-year limited warranty provides coverage until the end of the warranty period or until the endurance usage of the drive has been reached, whichever comes first.Power consumption may differ according to configurations and platforms.

The warranty period starts from the purchase date as stated on your purchase receipt.
