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:

        Thanks DaneA . 

        I currently have NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus (Diskless) Network Attached Storage RNDP200U. Can I install OS6 on this?
