Plus, the first 10GB are free! There’s a guide here that goes into detail on how to do the setup. I opted to just back up my entire NAS to Backblaze, since I don’t actually have that much data, and it can be backed up as compressed data too. It seems Backblaze is relatively cheap compared to other cloud storage options, with cheap egress as well. The cloud is really just “someone else’s computer”, so this can be considered a cloud backup too!

I have multiple tiers of backup and redundancy planned / implemented, following the 3-2-1 rule. I’ve enabled that now, following the instructions here, and have also gone into the settings to enable additional memory to be used as a cache. One thing the guide above didn’t cover is enabling Universal Search, which should (hopefully) allow indexing and better searching of the whole NAS. Turn on the firewall to block everything, and then only allow a very small set of traffic through.Enable 2FA for logging into the DSM locally.

Enable daily quick SMART tests, with monthly extended SMART tests (spaced a day apart per drive).Some important things I remember overall: Afterwards, I checked this guide to find anything I had missed. I poked through the settings myself for a while to try to turn on all of the security settings, and lock everything down as much as possible. 1x CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1000W, 12 Outlets, AVR, Mini Tower.1x Toshiba 12TB MG Series Enterprise Drive (MG07ACA12TE).Synology DiskStation DS1621+ 6-Bay NAS Enclosure.
