I wanted to see what others are using and recommending. I’m looking at going over to a self-hosted NAS option primarily for backup but ideally to work off of too.
I have only about 80GB of backups, only about 5GB are files I often use and access. I want to switch so I have full control over my data but would still plan to make encrypted containers to upload to cloud storage for redundancy.
An option that does have some type of automatic sync/backup would be ideal, and it would be setup for local use only. I won’t ever have to access it remotely.
So far the best I’ve found would be something like “Synology DS220+”. I originally considered setting up a local ubuntu server and use something like sftp for backup but its more time extensive and lacks added features.
What’s your recommendations? And if anyone knows of software to remove duplicates, it’d save me maybe 20GB of storage. Thanks!
With just a initial look at rsync, that would work as well but I’d have to setup with WSL on windows. Probably a better open source option but more manual setup.
I’ll check it out more but a dashboard with easy use and setup would be best for me. Thank you for mentioning them, I do run linux too so I might have to use that.
