Taking this approach, we got my 10TB of upload down to just 2-3 weeks. So I ended up setting a speed cap on the upload speed during the day, and then lifted it after midnight every night to try and speed things up. So I had to change the backup to run 24x7, which brought the time down BUT then I was hitting issues during the day because the upload was saturating my connection so much that nothing else in the house would work. Because I have so much data, around 10TB, that if I was to back up overnight ONLY, it would take months, and I mean MONTHS to finish! Once this is done, you create your schedules - I decided to go with a once-nightly backup, so it backs up overnight and doesn’t slow down our Internet during the day. The setup was really simple: you just sign up and enter your card details, create a storage bucket, where you’ll be storing your data, and then sign in to the account on the NAS drive and choose which bucket you want to back up to. Known for being one of the best cloud and NAS backup providers out there, and at a reasonable cost of just $5 per 1TB per month. The first option I went to, was Backblaze. One Synology and one QNAP.Īnd over the past few months, I’ve spent time testing out a number of backup services - some of them great, some of them shockingly bad, and so in this post, I want to run you through the best options to backup your own data. Yes, that’s right, even though you have a bunch of redundant disks - you’re still not protected from losing your data from data corruption or significant hardware failure. If you have invested in a NAS drive to store all of your data then you should also be backing that up somewhere else. What is the best way to back up your NAS in 2023?
