5 Top NAS Backup - Network Attached Storage Backups 2021
5 Top NAS Backup – Network Attached Storage Backups 2021
Introduction
Network-Attached Storage is another name for a storage device that connects itself directly to the internet router or Wi-Fi. A NAS at home usually comprises of one to four bays.
A small business has an option to install up to eight bays. It is one of the useful storage devices because, with this, you have a personal cloud where you can store your data and access it quickly.

Backups are incredibly important after you have a hard drive crash. The challenge is convincing family and friends to start backing up before they go though a tragic learning event. One of the hurdles is the cost. They might figure they paid around $1,000 for their computer and expect it to last around 5 years. That comes out to $200 a year, and so $50 a year, or a 4th the cost of the computer for a backup service seems expensive. As a service provider myself I can understand the risk, overhead, and equipment costs these backup services have. That is why CrashPlan was so great. Purchase my parent’s a hard drive for $150, then use CrashPlan for free. 6 people in my family can backup to this one hard drive. If we all did a backup service for 5 years that would be $1,500 instead of $150. Wow.
I did a lot of searching for a consumer friendly solution similar to CrashPlan, but I could not find anything. There are no open source solutions with good enough reviews to warrant even trying out. What I settled on was using an open source file service with a paid backup program. Minio Server basically turns one of my Macs into an AWS S3 service. Arq Backup has a simple interface for backing up and supports backing up to a verity of services, including a self hosted S3 type storage. Arq has some advantages over CrashPlan, namely it is a native application, not a Java application. Arq also has a Windows version. Arq costs $50 a person. So for myself and my father, who have multiple computers, it does not get too expensive. We will end up purchasing 6 licenses or $300. That makes this solution for 5 years come out to $450. Still a lot better than $1,500. The kicker is that you basically need to already be comfortable setting up your own cloud service.
Here is how to setup your own with open source Minio server and a one time paid backup application Arq Backup on a Mac
Setting up Minio on a Mac.
First install Minio Server
brew install minio/stable/minio
start it with
brew services start minio/stable/minio
There is probably a better way to get to this file, but open:
/usr/local/Cellar/minio/{Bunch of numbers}/homebrew.mxcl.minio.plist
I modified line 15 to point to an external hard drive.
changed:
<string>/usr/local/var/minio</string>
to:
<string>/Volumes/sjoy backup/minio</string>
Then restart Monio
brew services restart minio/stable/minio
Find the Minio keys by opening the log file here:
/usr/local/var/log/minio/output.log
Note the keys in a safe place (1Password)
Now you should be able to see the Minio web interface at http://localhost:9000
Setup Port Forwarding and DNS
I am not going to go into detail, but in order to make this publicly accessible you will need to setup port forwarding on your router. Then either purchase a static IP from your ISP or use a service like https://dyn.com/dns/
Download and install Arq Backup:
https://www.arqbackup.com/download/
Open Arq Preferences and choose Destinations
Add an s3 compatible destination.
Put in the hostname and keys.
Start backing up.
Once the backup is finished, test out recovering a file.
Done.
Sources:
best way to run a service at login: use OSX's native process launcher and manager, launchd

I've been using Crashplan as my external backup for a while, but they're now getting out of the business of individual backups. They're directing me to switch to Carbonite instead. Has anyone used them/have any information on them?
I got Code42/Crashplan running as a headless setup on my Synology 415+, and it has been working beautifully until lately. After the latest update, and with increased amount of files to be backuped CrashPlan started to crash in the mid of its scans… Very frustrating. I tried to ready all the guides on the net trying to overcome this problem. Finally I stumbled on this article where the heap size…
