Request: Backup to OneDrive
Hello, I see that DSM5.1 on Synology NAS devices now supports OneDrive cloud storage for backing files up to. I already subscribe to OneDrive extensively, so would like to be able to backup my files there. Now that the competition has it, any chance that NetGear could pull this off too? Would please me greatly, and a few others no doubt. Thanks, Fraser8.9KViews4likes8Comments
Amazon S3 backup for OS6
A long time ago, I got S3 backup working on a Duo, and then later an NVX. This all worked using the S3FS package and the FUSE filesystem. So I want the same on my new RN314 running OS6.2.2. This seems to have the FUSE filesystem support already there, so here is what I have done. (As a side note: S3FS on google code was moved to github in 2013. The google code stuff is still there. The newer code in github seems to have moved on so much that it uses autogen, and has some stack of dependancies such that I've given up trying to use it until a later time. So this is all based on the now-quite-old code at googlecode.com). First an acknowledgement: much of this comes from here: http://www.glaurent.com/fr/howto/readynas#s3. However did fond those instructions to be a little incomplete. Specifically, packages pkg-config and libcrypto are not installed, but are needed. (Libcrypto is supplied in package libssl-dev. Go figure.) So: cd /usr/local/src mkdir s3fs cd s3fs apt-get install build-essential libfuse-dev fuse-utils libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev mime-support pkh-config libssl-dev wget http://s3fs.googlecode.com/files/s3fs-1.74.tar.gz tar xvzf s3fs-1.74.tar.gz cd s3fs-1.74 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Optionally (for non root users) edit the file /etc/fuse.conf, and uncomment #user_allow_other, by removing the leading # only. Create a new file to store your Amazon S3 credential: vi /etc/passwd-s3fs chmod 640 /etc/passwd-s3fs The content needs to be the credentials provided by Amazon (don't disclose this to anyone!). It is of the form: # Access Key ID:Secret Access Key ID xxx:xxx Create the directory to mount the bucket. I prefer to use /s3 (rather than the suggested /mnt/s3) because sometimes other things or applications will use /mnt as a mount point, and then either that would fail or your mount point /mnt/s3 would become invisible. So: mkdir /s3 To test: s3fs <your bucket name> <mountpoint> For example: s3fs fred_bloggs /s3 You can also optionally add a line in /etc/fstab to mount your bucket: s3fs#<your bucket name> /s3 fuse 0 0 NOTE THE ABOVE WILL ACCESS S3 USING INSECURE HTTP. If you want to access your S3 storage using HTTPS, use: (manual mount): s3fs fred_bloggs /s3 url=https://s2.amazonaws.com (auto mount): s3fs#<your bucket name> /s3 fuse url=https://s2.amazonaws.com 0 0 You can unmount the Amazon S3 bucket using: umount /s3 And for backup using rsync from the command line (for example, of my subversion repository): rsync -a --delete -v -m /data/.svn /s3 Backup using frontview is, at present, a step too far.5.4KViews1like1CommentCrashPlan updated to 4.3 and now my GUI will not connect.
OK CrashPlan updated to 4.3.0 and now my Windows 7 GUI will not connect. The fix: 1)Make sure Windows 7 GUI is 4.3 and make sure it is not running when you are doing the steps below: 2) Copy your .ui_info from your nas to your desktop: a) .ui_info on NAS is probably located /var/lib/crashplan and is hidden. (unless you changed it from the default when installing i.e. What directory do you wish to store backups in? [/usr/local/var/crashplan]) b) .uni_info on your desktop is located C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan. (Rename your old .uni_info to .uni_info.orig) EDIT: Configure your ui.properies file on you PC appropriately. i.e. sevice port should be 4200 if you are using ssh to tunnel or service host should be changed to your NAS ip adresss if you made the proper changes in the my.service.xml file on you nas. 3) Start up Crashplan 4.3 on your desktop. Done !8.9KViews1like15Comments
Goodsync Server on the ReadyNAS
Hi, FYI, I succesfully set up a goodsync server (with paid licence) on my ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer. Benefits from using only the NAS as a SAMBA place with a goodsync client on a laptop is that it enables their new block sync protocol which speeds up things *a lot* ! If you want details, PM me !6.8KViews1like4CommentsBackup to google drive. Is it at all possible ?
Hello people, I'm a "happy" owner of a RND4000-100EUS (sparc) which is working fairly. However, I'd be happy to backup some data on google drive but for some reason my backups tasks aren't saving anything on the cloud. Here is the config I made : Source : share xxx Destination : HTTP protocol Host : drive.google.com Path : ReadyNAS/xxx (this folder exists on the google drive) User : my google username Password : my google password Though, when I run the backup, the tasks starts and stops immediately, and nothing has been backed up. Do anyone happen to know which settings I should apply, or is it just not possible to backup on the cloud ? Thanks7.3KViews1like12Comments
