#synology #nas #timemachine
I’ve been trying to backup my macbook but everytime I try doing it, it gets stuck at preparing backup 🙁
Please love content like this I’m new to everything and your channel helps me out so much please keep it coming thanks
Great content as always. Switching from TC to my bigger Synology for further backups.
Will this work from another country via Internet? Do I need to be in the same local network?
I’m still using a Drobo FS (2013) with five bays and it is still operating flawlessly.
Yes , More on eero and plex setup Synology
Yes, more on Synology and how to set up Plex and private cloud.
Great stuff love the info. Hey, what would you recommend for personal cloud storage?
Please could you cover how you build a new Mac or an erased one, from that Synology Time Machine backup!
I have the Eero Pro 3 pack. I would love to see your take on it though.
Great! I’d love to see videos on Plex
Synology equipment is excellent. I replaced an elderly Apple Time Capsule with the Time Machine features on their RT2300ac.
Yes please on the Eero coverage!
It stinks that Apple dropped Time Capsule, where the set up was plug and play magic, so this video is really useful. Thanks!
SMB will start to fail after a week, we are still waiting on SMB v4.8 to fix it https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12380
Yeah, mine fails too after the initial backup.
Thanks! Question for another video: how do you store all your emails locally, so as to alleviate the strain of big data servers in the climate? How do you download all your emails to your computer ?
• What are the benefits of connecting through Ethernet vs USB?
• If I use it as a Plex server, can it handle 4K content?
