[FR][OS 6.1.8]Ftp Backup source hidden files
Hi, I can't manage to backup from a Linux box any file that starts with "." (period), ie hidden files. Did anybody managed to backup one .something file from remote FTP to local readynas share? M...
It is not safe. You never rely on a single system from a single manufacturer. Look at the synology NAS that were attacked by Synolocker. You could have 500 Synology box and they could have been infected at the same time.
Same for drives, in enterprise you tend to mix, manufacturers, models and purchase date or supplier when possible.
For the NAS itself, given the fact that I am good enough with linux to setup a box to do exactly the same (but in SSH only), the inherent quality of the OS is not a real problem. There are lacks that are really problematic to me, like providing an antivirus but no firewall (by the way iptables works perfectly once you enable SSH to configure it)... I am one of those users who would have been better with a stock Debian, but since I also wanted dedicated hardware and I got readynas remote for the same price too... I don't think their OS is better or worse than the competition, it is just different.
How would you rate your NAS ? Price ? hardware ? OS ease of use ? OS evolutivity ? Tech support ? Depending on your answer you are better of, either staying with Netgear or running away very fast.
All in all, I find they are doing a good job. Not fantastic, but good enough and for a good price. They actually are working on the 6.2.0 version that we know nothing useful about for the moment, let's see what they pull off.
