Anyone use ARQ to backup REadyNAS to external Cloud (like Backblaze)?
I have 2 * 2TB in XRAID. I want to backup my NAS data to cloud. I want it to happen seamlessly between by ReadyNAS and Cloud provider (Backblaze B2 Cloud) without going through my PC/laptop. I saw that Backblaze has partner ARQ (https://www.arqbackup.com/features/) which supports NAS backup.
Has anyone tried this and how has the experience been so far?
What other options are there?
Thanks,
Pete.

I am not sure if NetGear has any NAS device that has easy integration with any cloud provider. I am looking for easy backup of my personal NAS to any cloud. Also, I am very disappointed with the lack of warning I got when both my RAID hards disk failed. I now have to a lot of money recovering (as much as luck would permit).
Also the fact that NetGear would not allow me to purchase a annual support contract for $80, and forced me to buy $80 one time support cost for looking into my NAS error (not that they were able to fix it). I do not have the money to keep paying $80 everytime I need support from NetGear.
I am looking into Synology which offers a better integration of their devices with cloud partners and may be better error handling.
Thanks to the forum for all the help and support.

Hi vfpeter,
If ever you own a ReadyNAS OS 6 unit, let me inform you that it is possible to sync it with Google Drive. Kindly read the article below:
Also, NETGEAR has released a new beta firmware v6.9.0-T55 for the ReadyNAS OS 6 unit which adds the features: Microsoft OneDrive and Azure cloud backup and sync support. Kindly access the link below:
