Re: [slim] Large Backups on a Cloud
I have very positive feelings about Backblaze. Once the initial backup is made you set the controls to automatic and subsequent backups occur automatically and slowly in the background, and with no noticeable effects on the computer or network. It took 3 weeks to upload 2TB. Upload speeds slow down in the initial upload the more you upload. That's because there's a "deduplication" programme which has more to check. The more RAM the better of course. Mine took no time at all for the first third, the last third went up at about 100GB or less in 24 hours. It's not a real problem, apart from my impatience. My upload speeds seemed to average at about 15mbps. The computer was still usable but the UI became arthritic. But streaming music from it was fine as was a virus check. Music files are particularly slow to upload because Backblaze makes a copy of any file over 30MB before uploading. There are some setting adjustments worth making for the initial upload - throttle to max and no. of threads to max. mandryka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

As mentioned already, the software runs in the background, does incremental backups, its throttled. The original backup took about 3 months, 24/7, as I throttled the uplink to 500KB, but it was eventually done. Incremental backups, especially for flac (I do not backup movies) do not require much time, I'm throttling at 250KB 24/7 - this is far from fibre but gets the job done and it does not affect my web usage experience. CrashPlan desktop app provides a control on the uplink speed. I'm also with an ISP provider where upload does not count against your bandwidth. If you are in US, you can mail a harddrive for an initial, seed backup, there are restrictions for mailing hard drives across borders so I did not bother. I had to recover a small portion of my files once and it was very easy, painless experience. I'm on linux and there were some changes to be made to config files to allow more than 2TB of backup data but there was enough support from CrashPlan to do so. Overall I'm quite happy with this solution, I have reduced much of the backup clutter that I had after moving to a smaller place. And unless CrashPlan crashes, I don't have to worry about hard drive crashes :-) George Transporter->Pathos Logos->Triangle Celius Touch->Yamaha RX-V673 -> Paradigm Monitor 7 2 Duets, 1 Boom RIP, 1 SB3, 1 Touch, 1 Radio, Transporter OnePlus3 -> Sennheiser HD 380 Pro 2 servers -> Ubuntu Linux, NUC and Synology 1 Bay matka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34878 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Large Backups on a Cloud
hi, like some of you i have 2 HP microservers , one with unraid (nas server) , one under Slackware ( lms, mail server, imap server, calendar server , etc..) . the lms is connected thru SMB to the unraid. everyday a backup is done to an attached external drive. (total on monday, incremental other day, 4 weeks kept) i have also a raspberry pi 3 (in a different room) as a rcp server (using raspbian) with also an attached external drive formatted exfat. so i do a rcp (remote copy) from the unraid to the the pi.

Oh no! Amazon have killed "Music in the cloud" for me. This is really terrible. I had setup my NAS to sync my music files to the cloud - all was great. Now they changed the game, no more unlimited and I would have to pay 180 Dollars for my storage, so obviously I will not renew my plan.

If I understand the situation correctly (and I'm not sure that I do) rclone's developer had to work with Amazon to get the app approved, but Amazon banned it without warning or consulting him and has yet to respond to his inquiries. For now, I've told Amazon not to renew my plan when it expires in August. If they allow rclone again, I'll probably keep the service, but for people with large music libraries the inability to automate a sync makes even "unlimited" useless.

Re: [slim] Large Backups on a Cloud
I have my data stored on a Qnap with LMS running on either a Pi (piCorePlayer) or an old PC (Vortexbox). The QNAP is mounted either via SMB or NFS. One of the officially available Qnap apps is "Connect to Cloud Drive". I haven't tried it but it supports Amazon Cloud Drive. If it works (and I have no reason to doubt that it does) then this would do the job nicely. "You can remotely connect to a cloud service (such as Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Box or Yandex Disk) in File Station after installing this add-on. You can easily carry out file management tasks such as copying and moving from cloud services to the NAS, or from NAS to cloud services by using remote connection at File Station. Note: Limitations of your cloud service account may affect what files can be transferred. Please check the account details with your cloud service for more information regarding what files can and cannot be transferred." Another Qnap developed app is Hybrid Backup Sync - in Beta "Hybrid Backup Sync is a comprehensive data backup and disaster recovery solution for the files stored on your QNAP NAS. It integrates backup, restoration and synchronization functions to provide you with a variety of options for data backup and synchronization including one-touch USB backup; Time Machine backup; RTRR backup and synchronization through RTRR, Rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB and cloud services such as Google Drive, Microsoft® OneDrive®, Dropbox®, Box®, Yandex® Disk, Amazon® Cloud Drive, Amazon® S3, Amazon® Glacier, Azure Storage, Google Cloud Storage, S3/OpenStack Swift/WebDAV compatible services. Hybrid Backup Sync allows you to manage multiple storage, remote and cloud accounts to help save time in creating backup jobs. Note: You must install Cloud Backup Sync from the App Center to remotely connect to cloud services." I don't need to use them though as I do a RTRR sync to another Qnap at a remote location. *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Large Backups on a Cloud
I use Crashplan as part of tiered backup strategy, and have done for past five years or so. It's $60 p.a. for unlimited encrypted storage for one PC, so a little cheaper than Amazon with current exchange rates, but backup specific. They will backup anything 'local' to a licensed machine, and provide a sensible background backup application (backup sets, file version retention including deleted files, etc.). Their app will also allow backup to other PCs including across the net, so if you have friend with a 24/7 server (their free version has this capability - you only pay for central cloud services). I've found it reliable and it's saved my bacon on more than one occasion. I find it quicker to find/restore the odd file from the cloud, than go to local backups. However, full disk restores are _much_ quicker from physical drives. In my server I use a disk pooling app with file duplication as well and have found that this has taken care of wholesale disk failures - Crashplan helps me when I've done something stupid and haven't noticed at the time (deleted the wrong file and so on). I wouldn't contemplate remote backup without a fast internet connection, and at the moment my unlimited fibre connection isn't so fast that I'd be prepared to do without local backups either. I'm not sure that the cloud backup would work well from a machine that is only on for short periods.

I'm not sure when cloud backup for large datasets is actually a best solution, unless you have really fast connections and also alternative back-ups. Purely from a security point of view, it's not clear to me why local/offsite/cloud is better than local and multiple offsites. For instance, one or more local copies, perhaps on a main data hard drive plus on the server, plus two hard drive back-ups stored in safety deposit boxes in separate banks. The incremental cost of a second safety deposit box won't be more than the cost of cloud storage, and won't have the inconvenience. Important to bear in mind that a safety deposit box does not guarantee against loss. If the bank burns down so will your drive in the SD. It's offsite back-up, but that doesn't mean immune from loss. I personally have music data stored on three different locations at home (main data archive, server, and the lossy version, all on separate hard drives), and a periodic backup to the safety deposit box. I use two or three different HDs for the bank storage -- one at the bank, and at least one (maybe two) that used to be in the bank and were retrieved when I added the most recent back-up. This is reminding me to do another backup, and I'll use the drive I took out of the bank last time I did this. I'll then take it to the bank and retrieve the one that's there for next time. That retrieved drive is another (incomplete) backup itself. I haven't gone so far as to get a second location for an SD. R.

Seems a bit slow to me. I don't know what kind of connection you have of course, but I've started the 3-month free trial, just to get a look at it and with rclone from my Ubuntu Server LMS I have around 3 GB (195 files) of data in around half an hour of toying with it. Given that traffic between midnight and noon only counts for half with my provider I've scheduled a CRON job (timeout 12h rclone sync -c -v /mnt/music AMAZON_DRIVE:/music), so it doesn't get me "punished" for backing up my data :p rclone works on Windows as well, both 32 and 64 bit versions are available, and using task scheduler you could probably accomplish the same thing. The -c option tells it to do a checksum calculation. To me this has 2 advantages: - It allows me to interrupt the upload process, picking up where it left off - If you set your tagging software to not change file modification times, it still detects that a file has been changed.

[slim] Large Backups on a Cloud
Hello everyone Amazon are now offering unlimited storage for £55 p.a in the UK, and they accept lossless music files. So the idea of having a cloud backup is more attractive. I have 3TB of music, it's going to take forever to upload it via my phone line -- I doubt it's feasible. Is there a one off fast upload service from anyone? Someone who I could send a hard drive to and they do the upload for me for a fee? mandryka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
