![]() ![]() They offer "seed" drives, but they cap the size at 1TB. Just know that unless you've got FIOS, expect MONTHS to upload that data. Of course this means only your computer can access the data which kinda defeats the purpose of having a NAS. Once you've mounted a ISCSI volume on Windows, windows thinks of it as a local drive. ![]() The alternative is to use ISCSI from your Synology. It's not plug-n-play, and since CrashPlan is a Java app, expect it to eat memory. ![]() There are instructions if you Google for them. It will run "headless" though, so you'll need to load CrashPlan on your windows computer and connect to the crashplan running on the NAS in order to control it. I have a completely separate backup implementation for my computers and critical data which involves a Time Capsule, USB flash drives and a bank safety deposit box.Assuming Synology is similar to the QNAP, you can load CrashPlan directly on the NAS. I think I have a way of seeding the initial upload from work, and any incremental uploads from home would be (relatively) small - maybe 30GB a month, easily doable. IIRC Comcast hasn't started enforcing data caps in my region (yet), but with my usage pattern, a 5.5TB upload all of a sudden would likely raise their suspicions. My home Internet connection is Comcast, with the 50/10 plan (through my actual speeds are closer to 65/15). I want to back it up because I have a lot of work into that media - a lot of it is Blu-ray rips (from my own collection) that I've converted to mp4 for use in iTunes. There is not one scrap of sensitive data on the NAS, which is why cloud backup is appealing to me. ![]() With the exception of about 100GB for my software installer folder (ISOs of OS's, applications, etc.), it's entirely media content. The NAS has 4x3TB drives in it set for SHR, with a total of maybe 5.5TB of content so far. ![]()
