Now you see how they can offer "unlimited" cloud backups. Also their "Restore to Door" option of shipping your data back to you maxes at 3.5TB, anything more will have to go over the wire. CrashPlan for Small Business protects as many computers as you have in your business and is entirely self-service. (They say it can hold 2TB compressed, but if your collection is movies and music, you won't see any compression). They offer "seed" drives, but they cap the size at 1TB. Just know that unless you've got FIOS, expect MONTHS to upload that data. Of course this means only your computer can access the data which kinda defeats the purpose of having a NAS. Once you've mounted a ISCSI volume on Windows, windows thinks of it as a local drive. The alternative is to use ISCSI from your Synology. It's not plug-n-play, and since CrashPlan is a Java app, expect it to eat memory. There are instructions if you Google for them. I would like to use the NFS mounted drive as a second destination. I also have a Synology drive mounted with NFS on the Mac Mini. Im backing up to CrashPlan servers which is working fine. ago by mcfiddish Using NAS as Destination Im running CrashPlan on a Mac Mini. It will run "headless" though, so you'll need to load CrashPlan on your windows computer and connect to the crashplan running on the NAS in order to control it. Using NAS as Destination : r/Crashplan 4 hr. Assuming Synology is similar to the QNAP, you can load CrashPlan directly on the NAS.
