I Agree with you on Synology photos 1000%, it needs work. I've been leaving feedback on it for one option. That is, to add an indicator in personal space that lets you know if a photo is or is not included in an album!!!
Hi Frank, another great video to help users get the most from their Synology. Personally my favourite app is Surveillance Station. I used to have a stand alone DVR and when I purchased my NAS was blown away by how powerful the Surveillance Station software is. Many thanks.
From that moment on I ignored "for Business" this app is my most important Synology software! I've set up a weekly schedule with starting the backup by turning on my PCs - just simply carefree !!
Excellent video Frank! I totally approve of this app list. I use these applications almost daily. Hyper backup actually saved my behind more than once!
I am a newcomer to this and as I spend several months away from home I wanted access to all the stuff I have stored on my home PC. So your videos are very informative.
Im running all of that 7 apps already plus a few more and im very pleased with everything what more can you ask for? Thanks so much for your great videos 👍
Thanks for the review. I was trying to decide whats the solution i neee and waw between multiple options mainly nextcloue and synology. It seems synology is what i need. Thanks.
Good video. Direct with supporting info. I have to say I really like Synology Photos. It handles my file structure (for scanned and shared files as well), easy to share photos with people, searchable, works on Apple TV, etc. would like to see stats on files such as number of tags they have so I know they can be found.
To be honest,, the Synology Surveillance Station is interesting, except for the fact that the cost per camera drives it up, vs. just grabbing a HikVision NVR for cameras as example; you can grab one of those for $130 at NewEgg and they are perfect up to 16 cameras, no ongoing license. Doing licensing at Synology Surveillence licensing is WAY more than that, and renewal cost..
They are both awesome - I love Synology Drive, but Nextcloud does more than Drive does. If you only want file syncing, I think Drive is a great option. If you're planning on using some of the other Nextcloud features, you can't go wrong with it.
There is still a lot I'm learning about my NAS, I backup to a DAS Storage every month from my NAS but how / what application is best to just backup the DSM and NAS settings, such as task schedules etc
Great video Frank! I use office, Drive, chat and MailPlus. I have a lot of friends that are always concerned about security with email in the cloud. What are your thoughts?
Thanks! Not a fan of hosting email on a Synology, but I don't see any problems if you're doing it with a trusted provider like Microsoft or Google. With that said, that's only my opinion and the ultimate decision should be based on the requirements.
Nice video! I use most of the applications you mentioned. I'm just getting started with Photos. If I were to use it for backing up photos from my mobile device, I assume I would then exclude this from the sync when using Synology Drive? I obviously don't want to have 2 instances of all my photos on the NAS. I just want to make sure I would be setting this up correctly though.
As far as I know, the NAS itself doesn't have any real capabilities like that - you're really just storing the data on the NAS and can use whatever client application you'd like for stuff like that.
Great video, Thank you One question though..... if i share a folder, let's say 2TB in size with my family, do I need to get a static IP for them to be able to connect to home server? Thanks
Synology Drive backs up photos anyway. Not sure why I need synology photos just for backup. I can access them with synology drive and check them out etc.
I was expecting a lot more from Synology Photos, I don't see the improvements that you"ve mentioned that have provided. That was the key critera. I regret spending all that cash on synology.
It's not improving particularly quickly but it is improving. Object recognition, for example, was recently added and it wasn't available at release. I agree though, they could move quicker.
Hi, Great video! You say the cloud sync app is not a ideal for cloud backup (as its a syn tool).... so in your opinion what is the best way to backup cloud files onto the Synology NAS? Thanks.
Thanks! If your goal is to back up cloud files to your NAS and you configure snapshots on the NAS, it's definitely not the worst option. I generally dislike the other way - syncing data from the NAS to a cloud storage location and using it as a "backup".
Howdy! Re: Synology Photos: Do the settings have the fidelity to discriminate which Wi-Fi network the sync is allowed from? In other words can I upload cellphone photos automatically when connected to my home wi-fi but not when connected to a hotel WiFi for example (or tie up an AirBNB WiFi network when five people do this at the same time)?
Short answer, unless you have a route back to your NAS (using QuickConnect, port forwarding, etc), you won't be able to access it. If you are using one of those, you'll have to modify the settings in Photos but those are the only real options available.
I'm looking for a NAS to store all my photos and I need it to be good at searching for faces, location and date. How is Synology with this? Or is there a better NAS to use? Thank you
I just realized , can you configure synology photo to use tailscale so that when you are remote , everything can be backup to your nas as long as you have internet ? Can you do a video about that if it’s possible ?
Yes you can! I don't think I can do a whole video on it because I already did a video on Tailscale that still works (I'll create a new one if it ever changes), but if you do steps 1 and 3 in this tutorial, it'll do exactly what you're looking for: www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-tailscale-on-a-synology-nas/
If I use ABP as my main backup method, should I still consider using Snapshot Replication? They seem somewhat duplicative. I also use HB to an external USB Hard Drive and C2 (once a month). I think I have the 3-2-1 method covered. Thanks
Snapshots are a very powerful tool and can produce extremely fast recoveries while taking very little space so I'd personally use them but it's up to you.
The short answer is that if you're only backing up one machine, Time Machine is fine. When you start backing up multiple devices, the benefit is in the centralized management that Active Backup for Business offers.
I’m a little confused with snapshot and hyper backup. Does hyper back already has incremental backup so you can go back in time, similar to a snapshot function?
The snapshots are taken at the volume level and can be restored/completed very quickly. I like to look at it like the first line of defense: restore from the snapshot if you can - if you can't, go to HB.
This post is eleven months old, so I'm not sure if it's monitored any more. I getting close to extremely high SSD utilization on a win 11 system. I've copied a brive then restored that drive copy after the drive upgrade using a USB set as bootable with the C drive copy on it. The question: Can I create a copy of the drive using "Active Business Back-up", boot from a USB and through that navigate to the copy on the Synologh NAS?
I'm not exactly sure if I understand the requirements, but you can only restore from an Active Backup for Business backup task, so theoretically, if it was created with ABB, you should be able to restore. I'm just not sure when it comes to external drives.
@@WunderTechTutorials I have just under 10 gig available on a 256 gig SSD. So, I'm going to replace the SSD with a 512 which should satisfy the need for some time. I can create a copy, a boot USB, replace the drive and load the disk copy. I also have a Synology NAS. So, I was wondering if there is an ability to map to the NAS once I boot to the USB for the drive copy. I go as far back as "BartPE" and beyond. Long since I'm somewhat out of touch now. Don't dig deeply in response, I can follow along that process (PE) with a little education refresh via search. Great video on the suggest apps. Thank you for the effort you invested in it
Hello, is there any NAS model that can automatically upload photos? When we take photos on our phone, even if we are not in the app, it will upload them for us. I want that model because from what I have heard, it seems like B-Station does not upload them automatically.
The BeeStation and DSM run very similar versions of the photo app, so if you don't think the BeeStation will work, neither will their NAS. With that said, I haven't run into issues with photos automatically backing up.
I used to have active backup for business for linux running but apparently it is not capable to run above a certain kernel level wont work. current ubuntu lts 22.04 doesn't work for me
Okay, just so i dont stack up more data then needed - is possible when using Synology drive with my phone and Synology photos - To somehow have you photo uploaded on the fly - But not appear twice in both photo and drive locations?
I would probably select one over the other, though they can be used for different things. Just configure Photos for the photos and the Drive for whatever else you'd like.
If it's just one device (or even a few), I think Time Machine is a great option. If you're backing up 5+ machines, Active Backup really starts to shine.
So... With this Synology Photos app, do I have to have the NAS accessible over the Internet for it to backup the photos from the phone? Or, can it just wait till I get home and connected to my home WiFi ,and automatically do the backup then? I don't plan to EVER make my NAS accessible over the Internet.
If you don't want it accessible over the internet, then yes, if you wait until you get home, it'll automatically back up. There are various ways to do it remotely (even QuickConnect), but as soon as you connect, it should start to back up.
I am trying to use HyperBackup to an off-site Synology NAS using QuickConnect, but I get a message that it is not supported. Can I setup a special port number and then port forward to the backup NAS?
Side question : If one day my synology nas dies , how can I restore my hyperbackup to a newer nas ? I guess I start from scratch and then I use the hyperbackup explorer right ? But since you can backup your apps configuration inside your hyperbackup , how do you do that :) Do you have a video on that subject ? Thanks !
@@sylvainalain6637 I normally use FAT32, but there's really no right or wrong answer. Use whichever offers the most compatibility for you! Yes, you'll hook the hard drive to the new NAS, open Hyper Backup and then restore from it. It's the "restoring data" section of this article, but you'll need to re-link the external hard drive first. www.wundertech.net/synology-hyper-backup/
If you use Hyper Backup to backup to the cloud, say Google Drive, will files that you've deleted on the NAS that you're backing up also automatically be deleted from the cloud backup, or do they just keep accumulating? I often delete files on my NAS, and if I ever have to restore, I don't want all those files I've deleted to then be restored.
They will be retained based on the retention settings. If you're saving 3 versions for example, you'll retain the files until the versions have been rotated. This is necessary for the backups to function properly (in case the data is deleted accidentally, ransomeware, etc). However, after X amount of new backups, the data will be removed.
The only problem I have with active backup for business is that you need to have a Synology account and link your NAS to Synology which is a bit annoying.
@@DavidM2002 I just did retry it. I am running DS220+ with up to date firmware. When you start the Active backup for busniss 1st time it asks you to log in into your synology account.
Are you talking about a "Synology account" that exists on your local Synology server? Or is it mandatory to log into a Synology account that only exists on a Synology server accessible only via the Internet? If the later, then this backup software would be completely useless on a LAN that has no Internet access.
Is sharing data with synology over the web HIPPA compliant. ? The data has to be encrypted while at rest and during transport. ? Do you set up open vpn servers locally ?
Not sure of all HIPPA requirement but the Synology operating system certainly allows encrypted volumes, so that data can be encrypted at rest. Both Hyperback and Active Backup for Business, as well as Drive, can be set to use encrypted transmission. Additionally, you can easily access files remotely as well via a VPN back to your Synology DS.
I am hoping you will be able to help me. I am running on Windows 11. I was doing fine with Active Backup for Business and setup using your video and written instructions but ran into a snag when trying to create a recovery media. Referring to section 4.1 of your written instructions. When I click the "Synology Active Backup for Business Recovery Media Creator" link I get a message saying "loading" then it is gone in a blink of an eye. I can find any file down load to my download folder or anything new on my desk top. Where do I go from here? Thank you in advance.
