Hello there, I am choosing a cloud backup for my ReadyNas 204. I won't consider ReadyVault so please don't propose it to me :) After some research I've come down to two options: 1) iDrive fo...

The idrive review is a couple of years old - it'd be helpful if someone who uses it could chime in with newer information.
FWIW, I am using Crashplan myself. Though I run it on a Windows PC that has the NAS data volume mapped to a drive letter. One disadvantage of Crashplan is that they have recently decided to exclude image backups from their backups - including .vhd or .tib files (among others).

Thanks. Yes it would be nice to have newer review of iDrive, maybe I would do one ;)
Still wondering, anyone trid out rclone?- SauvageSausageJan 22, 2020Tutor
i've tried Rclone to mirror my home directory to Onedrive(*)
works well but very CPU demanding. while rclone was running, the box was so noisy, i had to limit mirroring with one time a week, then eventually got rid of it,
I believe my actions were like:
# cd ~ # mkdir rclone; cd rclone # wget https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.50.2/rclone-v1.50.2-linux-amd64.zip # unzip rclone-v1.50.2-linux-amd64.zip # cd rclone-v1.50.2-linux-amd64 # chmod +x rclone
# mv * .. # nano ~/rclone_cron.sh#!/bin/bash if pidof -o %PPID -x "rclone-cron.sh"; then exit 1 fi
# here comes your stuff*) readynas can't sync the local user home and the cloud home , it was the only suitable workaround

update: i've looked into my nas and it's like this:
# mkdir /apps/rclone # cd /apps/rclone # wget ... (as in previous message)
then:
# nano /etc/profile (add "/apps/rclone" to the both PATH variables)
