No one has ever been able to make that work. This thread reminded me to check on Synology's backup service and I was thrilled to see it's out of beta! The pricing is awesomeĪnd that's my concern.unlimited for 70EUR/year. Thanks to for originally talking about this setup on LET many moons ago.took me a while to get around to it but it's working great so said:

And I have a local backup now, which is nice. I have ~500K files and 2.7TB, so with a 10Mbps upstream it'll take a bit.fortunately, I have my old rclone buckets, so as each new bucket completes I'm nuking the old. CloudSync will tell you how many files remain to be synced but that's it. I wish CloudSync told you the percentage complete.there's really no way to know how close a volume is to completing B2 sync except by comparing size in the B2 API vs. I ramped all those up to 600 seconds but I may move to scheduled syncs for some volumes where the change rate isn't high. By default, I think the comparison is every 60 seconds which is nuts. Setting up each in synology was the major work. If you have a bunch (I have about 25), create them all first and then configure the Synology. I didn't do the advanced comparison thing.my little DS215Js are working hard enough.īreak out each bucket into a separate B2 config so you can see where each is at. My policy is rsync local and then set the bucket to a 30-day retention. Or so I've read.rsync on Synology is pretty easy to setup.

When running against a real rsync service, it does the block compare. Over nfs, rsync just does a comparison of time stmap/size. You really, really, really want to use the synology's rsync service as opposed to mounting NFS and running rsync against that. This weekend, I switched to doing an rsync to a Synology and then using it's CloudSync to backup to B2. Previously I had an rclone script for backing up to B2. My home files live on a Linux NAS (or Dropbox).
