  Time Machine Backups to Symbology?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

After reading you &quot;Guide to Synology with Time Machine,&quot; I was left uncertain whether or how it is possible to back up multiple Macs on a network to the Synology.

- Can all the Macs back up to the same folder?

- Must each Mac back up to its own folder?

- Is any unique configuration required on each individual Mac or are they all configured alike (to access the storage folder(s)?

  NAS Drive Advise?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your help. Below I'm going to list some bullet point facts to her clarify my situation.

- I currently have an iMac with 7TB of data on a 10TB drive. List consists of all kinds of data, video's photos, documents etc.

- I need to find a solution as my iMac is old and its going to die soon.

- I use apple family share to stream video's to my TV through an apple TV. This is an important feature

- We are a family of 5 all with apple MacBooks

- We all have iPhones, we would like to backup the iPhones to the NAS automatically if possible.

- I'm a backup freak. I do have a code 42 plan but I never want to rely just on that, so a mirror would be nice.

- Being able to access our NAS from outside would be nice but security would be a big concern


So I'm probably looking at some sort of NAS devise but am very open to suggestions

Many Thanks for your help

Steve

  ITunes ?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hello, firstly I found you on youtube. I have no knowledge of what I require, but know what I need to achieve. I currently have all my music on iTunes. I like to own and do not stream. It’s my cd’s and purchases from the iTunes library mainly. Some video and some films. I listen to my music through an iPad/MacBook Pro and 2 x iPods. My question is this. How can I get my library to another iTunes equivalent? And what will I need to do this? If I have been listening correctly to your YouTube channel, I’m talking software and hardware,right? I play my music over Bluetooth to a Samsung sound bar and Bluetooth speakers and a Sonos arc in another room. On another note I have dvds that I still watch through a DVD player. Thank you for reading this!

  Upgrade ds215j ?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

I have had a ds215j for 5 years or so now but am getting frustrated with the low speed of the unit. I also would like to run Homebridge (Docker required) and cannot on my present unit. Would a ds220+ give me a marked increase in speed as well as the ability to run Docker? I’m happy with the 2x 3Tb hdds and could just swap them into the new unit.

Many thanks.

  NAS and NVR?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hello,
I find your videos to be very helpful but I still have a question.

I was planning to get a DS920+ running RAID 6 for picture and video storage (just family, nothing professional) and then an NVR1218 to add some cameras around my house. I went to order the NVR1218 and it's discontinued. I was attracted to this model because of the HDMI port and the camera licenses that are included.

Would a DS1520+ be a reasonable substitute? I'm thinking 4 drives used as a NAS and the 5th used as an NVR. Is this dumb? Is there a better solution? Is there anything I should know about mixing NAS and NVR drives? I thought about QNAP but I'd rather just learn one system and since I'm new at this I thought Synology was a little more user friendly.

Thanks

  Qnap tvs-h1688x?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

In your video about this NAS, there was nothing about camera licenses. In looking at QNAP web site there doesn't seem to be any camera licenses with this NAS. Is there something about ZFS that doesn't allow it or am I just not finding it?
Thanks

  WD RED PRO are they SED compatible?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

I got 2 WD NAS RED PRO 6Tb each with a QNAP TS-253D. Are the drives compatible with SED encryption? I'm asking the question because they don't have PSID number. And I'm affraid to not be abble to restore them in case I forget the password ( I don't care if I lose the content).
Thank you
