A use case for me is when I moved out to my own house sometime in 2016, I will get another Synology NAS and setup Shared Folder Sync to sync data back to my Synology NAS at my parents’ place. I would recommend Shared Folder Sync if you are using two Synology NAS which is not physically located together. To create a Shared Folder Sync, go to “Apps -> Backup and Restore -> Shared Folder Sync Tab”. The difference between Shared Folder Sync and Network Backup is Shared Folder Sync will propagate changes in both ways (source destination) while Network Backup will only propagate changes from a source to a destination (source -> destination). To access your Backup & Restore tasks, click on the “Apps” icon at the top menu bar and choose “Backup and Restore”. DS413j – Control Panel DS413j – Enable Network Backup DS413j – Enable Shared Folder Sync To enable Network Backup and/or Shared Folder Sync, just login to DSM and go to “Control Panel -> Network Backup” as shown in the screenshots below. So use Amazon S3 storage space as a backup to your DiskStation or treat it like a contingency site should anything happens to the data. Synology also allows business users to back up data from DiskStation to their Amazon S3 cloud storage account. You can also back up data to an external storage device, such as a USB/eSATA hard drive. You can create multiple volumes to place your data, you can always backup important data from between two volumes – from one shared folder to another shared folder. You can either back up files from one shared folder to another shared folder, or from one DiskStation to another DiskStation. With an intuitive interface, backing up and restoring files is effortless. Time Backup is a unique backup application that comes with snapshot, multiple backup versions, and smart recycle that keeps storage space from filling up. The disaster recovery time can be greatly minimized when your source DiskStation experiences failure, and in turn it can ensure maximum service uptime. Branch offices will be able to share documents with headquarter seamlessly and safely with encrypted folder protection. Shared Folder Sync allows users to synchronize specific folders from multiple servers to a single destination server in real-time. You can also block-level backup, so that only the changed files will be processed to save network bandwidth. Encryption and compression makes a backup task safe and efficient. Network Backup allows you to back up data from one Synology DiskStation to another one, including rsync compatible server, over the network. There are a few types of backup options that are available in the Server Backup feature: It is possible from one Synology NAS to backup to another Synology NAS via it’s Network Backup feature. I am still currently using the Synology DiskStation DS210j which is on 2x WD Green 1TB running on RAID 1. When I am doing the test, I also notice that the DS413j with WD Red is extremely quiet unlike the DS210j on WD Green which makes slightly more noise, but it is still acceptable. The DS413j is on SHR with WD Red and the DS210j is on RAID 1 with WD Green. Tested the file transfer speed using LAN Speed test. Performance LAN Speed Test (DS413j Left vs DS210j Right) In the first part review of the Synology DiskStation DS413j, I talked about unboxing and setting up and in this second part review, I will talk about the performance, backup and CloudStation.
