Advice on cloud backup please
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2025 10:14 am
I would be very grateful for some advice. I have a DS920+ and use Syncovery to backup to it and from it to my sons server (it used to be to my brothers as well but he died last year).
I have two problems, I am 80 and when the backup ups were done it was with my son who is knowledgeable. Thus, as Syncovery has developed a lot of the changes have passed me by! The second bigger problem is my son is in the last stages of cancer and clearly his wife is not going to maintain his network and server for her use after that happens. So we will need to move to prevent that problem occurring and reducing her problems then.
We have over 1.5Tb of data, many years of photography create a lot of images, and we have records going back over 40 years on the NAS.
I am looking for a cloud backup site, currently we have fiber internet of 600Mb up and down so up and downloading isn’t going to be a problem. I would be grateful of recommendations of ones that are not to expensive (pensions are not that good), will take the fairly large backup we have and can be setup in Syncovery easily. It would be great if anyone knows of a guide on how to do it.
