Before anyone says it, yes, I know it’s shit, and that Microsoft are awful, but my wife needs Office, so I get a couple of accounts with 1TB of storage for free, so I may as well use it.
I’ve got my PC, my laptop, and a Synology DS216 (I think) NAS that I want to keep synced and backed up. I was using Onedrive on the PC to sync to their online storage, and using Syncthing to keep the laptop and Synology updated, but they just mirrored the PC. The PC was the only one that could write to the folder.
I want to keep the PC and laptop synced in both directions, and use the Synology and Onedrive as extra copies. I know it’s not a proper backup, but it’s better than nothing for the moment.
Would I be better off installing Onedrive, or Abraunegg’s version, on the three systems and letting it sync, or putting Onedrive on the Synology and using Syncthing to keep the folders synced?
I’ll have Onedrive on the Synology either way, and I’ll be using Syncthing on all three to keep my music synced with my media server, so I’m mostly wondering whether people think it’s better to let just the Synology sync to Onedrive, or to have a client on each device.
The three devices are pretty much always used in the same house, but very occasionally the laptop is taken out, almost always to somewhere with an internet connection.
Thanks :)
I use
rcloneto create encrypted backups of some important stuff on OneDrive.I’m just doing my homework on rsync after reading Object’s reply :)
If you just wanna use it as a backup, and not access stuff from it directly, it’ll be easier to forego
rclone_mountand just userclonedirectly to backup stuff on a schedule. That’s what I do.Unfortunately it’s no good for me. I need direct access, but I have memory issues too, so manually backing up won’t work either.
