Synology To Backblaze
Bellevue, WA—July 7, 2016—Synology® Inc. today announced its top rated file syncing and backup application Cloud Sync now supports B2 Cloud Storage, an increasingly popular and competitively priced cloud storage service from Backblaze.
- Readily available backups. With a 1-1 mapping between files on-prem and objects in the cloud, all of your data is secure and ready to restore. Long-term retention and 3-2-1 backups of your Veeam data have been simplified and made easily accessible with the joint solution from Backblaze B2 and Tiger Bridge. Explore Quickstart guide.
- Synology Cloud Sync So to backup to B2, I’m using the Synology Cloud Sync application. This is easily installed with a single click via the Synology Package Manager. Personally I backup all user home folders, as well as our Family Share folder to B2.
The Time Machine backup is now being synced to Backblaze B2. This can take a few minutes or much longer depending on the size of the initial Time Machine backup. Each Time Machine backup is updated, the changes will be done on the Synology NAS and then synced automatically to Backblaze B2. You can close your Synology NAS device. First I needed to open port 5000 and 5001 on my firewall and setup rules to forward those to my Synology. Then in the Synology Control Panel under external access, advanced, I needed to put my public IP in the hostname or static field. Should have thought of this sooner. Backblaze got the request but wasn't talking to the NAS.
'Synology is committed to providing a storage platform that is deeply integrated with multiple public cloud services,' said Alex Wang, CEO of Synology America Corp. 'We are always open to new partnership opportunities to extend our services and offerings. The addition of Backblaze B2 offers an alternative for online object storage services.'
