I knew that something was very wrong when the guy on the other end of the phone said: “oh, it’s you.” I wasn’t exactly getting calmer when he proceeded to tell me that my hard disks had been the main topic of discussion at lunch the day before. I knew that it would cost an arm and a leg, but losing three months worth of data, including pictures from important events in my life was not an option.Ī few days after sending the hard disks, I contacted the company wanting to know the status. I then contacted a company that specializes in saving data from damaged hard drives. The day after, I took the trip to the cabin, only to find that my backup was about three months old. I knew enough about hard disks to not poke around after finding that both of the disks appeared empty. This would be replaced with a fresh copy every now and then. In case of a break-in or serious fire, I stored a copy of everything on an old hard drive I kept at the cabin. In case of a hard disk failure, I would always have my data safely stored on the other of the two hard drives.
Back when I bought my first NAS ( Network Assisted Storage) box from Synology, I set up a RAID-1 and was super happy. Working in the IT sector, I had seen it all, or so I thought.
#JOTTACLOUD SYNOLOGY SERIES#
The Synology DS series is still my preferred physical storage device. In the end, I managed to recover most of my important data, but not all. If I had been reading this five years ago, I would still have all of my pictures and would have been spared all that job of restoring a database because I lost the admin password. One of your favorite cloud services will be eaten by a bigger fish or will fade out of existence. You will experience a hard disk crash or a corrupt memory card. It’s only a matter of time before you need backup. Those pictures of your best friends wedding will be gone forever. To get those pictures from Bali, you would have to go there again. You may be able to get a new letter of recommendation from a previous employer, but that personal recommendation from your boss at that time is a lot harder. Remote folders mounted using CIFS/SMB and NFS can also be set as local NAS shared folders, allowing NAS users with permissions to quickly open/edit remote files and manage them with File Station and the Qfile mobile app.Have you ever thought about the real value of your data? I’m not talking about what can be measured in money, I’m talking about what it would take to recreate it – if it is even possible. Mount remote devices (NAS or file servers) using CIFS/SMB, FTP/FTPS, NFS, or WebDAV to centrally access data. Use SMB, AFP, NFS, FTP, and WebDAV to access cloud-based files as if they were stored locally and enable low-latency access to frequently-used data with local caching - ideal for file servers, online collaboration, and file-level data analysis. Mount public cloud storage to a NAS as a network drive and enjoy an unlimited number of connections! Multi-cloud files can also be accessed through File Station or the Qfile mobile app for greater work efficiency. Mount cloud storage or remote servers based on your needs to manage file storage, backup, and restoration from a single interface.
