![]() ![]() Even with Apples Time Capsule, I tended to have issues. ![]() Time Machine can be quite unreliable in combination with network-attached storage, although the situation has improved significantly. The problem is that Time Machine is a proprietary Apple solution and QNAP has to support it without really getting support from Apple to support it. It works until it does not work… I am not sure if QNAP is to blame. Note: we have nothing to do with Synology, we just recommended it to you cause they announce a Blackblaze App for this NAS device.Like already mentioned, the easiest way would be using QNAP in combination with Time Machine: I wish them luck for us, basic arithmetics will still be valid for some years to come as well as control and the fastest possible access to our data, especially in case of a disaster recovery situation. There are lots of audacious IT admins out there using the cloud as their primary and only backup storage solution for VMs. I am sure that many cloud backup advocates will try to dismiss this opinion, starting by cloud backup enterpreneurs. ![]() one., and that assuming that the connection is perfectly stable during that period of time.Ī backup repository that is integrated into a disaster recovery set up, cannot be in the cloud, maybe in some years, when bandwith is not a concern, but by now VM cloud backups will remain as a great off site storage option to protect us from thefts, fires and all sort of dangers that may compromise our first backup device. Even if you have a 200 mbps FO connection, it would take about 15 h. Can you imagine what would be to restore a 500 gb. It will be a painfully slow process, but at least you'll have an offsite copy. Should your primary backup device (a Synology NAS per instance) become unusable, you could then go to the cloud and restore your files. It is very recommendable, not to say essential, to first backup locally, and then copy over a WAN. Saving a copy to the cloud can be a good idea, but not as the main and only backup place. QNap devices are equally recommendable, but there isn't a Blackblaze App for QNap. In any case, if you are interested in using any cloud storage service like Blackblaze B2, just backup your VMs to a Synology NAS device and from there use the Blackblaze Synology App to upload your files to the cloud. ![]() It uses open standards to copy and migrate data. XSIBackup-Pro ( ) does not support any commercial cloud backup system. ![]()
