![]() They are designed to protect your data and maybe a bit less to be a media-server and torrent-download-station. I don't use this myself, but the reviews I read suggest that these are solid units. Unfortunately we have a Synology fan-boy making decisions so nothing will change. We have a tally board up with 18 tick marks for every time a Synology was at fault for a major outage. They never want to look into why the issue happened and they haven't once been able to resolve a problem. There's nothing we can do." For a company with such major issues in concentrated succession they sure are laissez-faire every time we call about an issue. Synology support basically said "You updated it at your own risk. So we had to restore backups and run off of totally different hardware until Synology released fixes (which took 3 months). There's no way to revert from a "Critical" update, regardless of whether it puts you over a barrel. There was another instance where 3 Synology units hosting ISCSI LUNs were updated, and none of the LUNs worked thereafter. Another 6 died at the hands of the Intel Atom recall. 9 units wiped themselves within the first few months of use. My company has 35 Synology units in the field. I came here to urge everyone to avoid Synology like the plague. Is there any way to create computer backups that don't require employees to change their habits? If not, that's okay, but I feel like it would be harder to get 14 people to change their habits than for me to spend more time/money on the project. ![]() We aren't a tech company and people are extremely resistant to changing their tech habits. I have a feeling that, if I were to institute this rule, people wouldn't follow it. Would it be easy to set up a daily backup on a NAS for all of these computers so that, if we were hit with Ransomware, or something, we could easily restore from the NAS?ĮDIT: A lot of people are recommending that I make all employees start using shared network drives. Our computers have a total of 7.62 TB (with only 1.3 TB used). I've never installed a NAS, but how difficult is it to set this up? Also, does anyone have recommendations for the one we should buy? As I said, all of our office computers run Windows (most are Windows 10, but 2 are Windows 8 and 1 is Windows 7 because those employees refuse to upgrade). We need a backup solution and a NAS has been recommended. We are all connected to a private network that is separate from our public Wifi network. Half of us use a desktop computer, half use a laptop. I work at a nonprofit with 15 employees (8 full-time, 7 part-time).
