11/8/2023 0 Comments Chronosync vs goodsync![]() ![]() ![]() It doesn’t support Amazon Cloud Drive, only Amazon S3. They do have a Synology version with a 200 GB limit which I’m trying out. I want a long term solution not to rely on logging in to some account.Ĭontinuing on, there is Cloudberry Backup. But I installed it on the Synology and ran it, and the first thing it asked for is an account for Goodsync. Next, I found another program GoodSync by Siber Systems which looked promising as it supports PC, Mac and even Linux to run on the Synology drive. It won’t let me access my files directly from, for example, the Amazon Drive web browser interface. I haven’t decided because this is restrictive. Knowing where your backups are and being able to see the data directly brings peace of mind. There’s even an open-source restore tool, so advanced users can use the app’s credentials to access the data directly. Store the data in your own Amazon Cloud Drive, Amazon Web Services (S3 or Glacier), Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage (including “Nearline”), Dropbox, OneDrive account, your own SFTP server, or a folder on your NAS. How about Arq Backup? It’s US$49.99 per user and lifetime upgrades cost anther US$29.99.Īrq stores your encrypted backups in a format that’s open and documented. But, this won’t work for me, because then the only way to get individual files out of these buckets would be by using the Hyper Backup on my Synology. The backup is managed by the Hyper Backup application, and the files are embedded into “buckets.” Buckets are how on a higher level, Amazon stores data. It works, but the files are not backed up individually. It will backup to cloud services including Amazon Drive. Synology has some utilities including their Hyper Backup. I tried these following programs but don’t use them. So, like I said, once I run ExpanDrive I can easily backup with ChronoSync. But it doesn’t work with Amazon Drive it only connects to S3. SyncBackPro was recently updated to version 8 to support the latest cloud storage APIs.ĬhronoSync is a Mac program which costs US$49.99. Below is the destination choices in SyncBackPro. so if you only have a PC, you would not even need ExpanDrive if you don’t want to locally mount the Cloud Drive. It natively supports Amazon Cloud drive and costs CA$77.95. On the PC I have used SyncBackPro for backups for several years. It mounts the Cloud Drive on the Mac and the PC. I store my data locally on a Synology DS12+ drive. Now it looks like they don’t even have that plan. I was paying about CA$20 per month anyhow for a family plan to allow multiple computers. Then in late 2016 I couldn’t backup from the network drives. It allowed unlimited backup from the network storage. But that’s more than the Amazon Prime has Amazon Drive Unlimited for CA$59.99 per year. There are Dropbox Enterprise accounts Standard for CA$17.50 and Advanced for CA$27.50 per month with 2TB and Unlimited storage respectively. It has 1 TB for a cost of CA$10.75 per month. In general, I use a Dropbox Individual Plus account for the day-to-day file management. I am not the usual “consumer.” I have about 5 terabytes of personal photos and videos I want to save in the cloud plus personal documents. ![]()
