Amazon - Snapshots or full data?
Hi All, I recently turned on Amazon Cloud on my RN104 running 6.6.1. So far everything seems to be working corrently, though I aside from a cursory glance at the folder structure on Amazon I have no idea how much data has moved. I expect the total for the selected shares to be over 700GB, but amazon is not showing any size yet. Maybe once the transfer is done it will show? Anyway, I'm now concerned about Amazon being a two-way sync. Not so much that I would delete something on Amazon, but what if something breaks at amaazon and my files get deleted? or if amazon is hacked and my files get deleted? My understanding that in this siutation the sync would cause my local files on NAS to also get deleted. (please correct me if I'm wrong) Which brings to my real question. I admittedly do not fully understand snapshots. But am now wondering if instead of replicating the actual data to amazon, should I just be replicating the snapshots instead? Or both? I would sleep easier if netgear just made an option to set the amazon sync as one-way or two-way my choice.3.6KViews0likes6Comments
