![]() ![]() ![]() Mountain Duck 3, combined with any cloud storage, is a viable, more secure solution to synchronize access to documents on multiple computers and users. Comparison with third party solutions to mount remote storage on your desktop. Instead use Mountain Duck to access your personal file storage with smart synchronization to only keep selected files on your computer permanently.ġ You can only choose which folder to synchronize with your computer but lose access to other files.Ģ You can keep files online but OneDrive downloads the files on demand and you must free disk space again manually. ![]() Comparison with client applications from OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive. We provide a 30% discount coupon if you have previously purchased a competing product and want to switch to Mountain Duck. I spend a lot of time on remote hosts editing files and this really helps thanks! Michael Thwaite If customers have existing skills in managing a Synology NAS, it can be very tempting to simply add an extra package from the Synology store and be up in running in less than an hour.Mountain Duck appears to be reliable and the Finder integration turns Finder into a fully-functional SFTP client - this is no easy feature and I’ve not yet found anything that actually works, all the time - Expandrive, Transmit, oDrive, SSHFS, Cloud Mounter, etc. The benefit of CloudSync with B2 over using other cloud gateway devices available today would be the cost savings that B2 can offer compared to S3 and BLOB. If this is misconfigured, backup files may be incomplete or even corrupt. Pay particular attention to the scheduling though. By utilising the added protection that B2 offers around the lifecycle rules will add an extra safeguard against ransomware which is a huge bonus as well. When it’s setup correctly it can work pretty well and deliver an extra layer of redundancy to our data availability strategy. It has some foibles, but it gets the job done. ![]() So back to CloudSync and B2, what can we accomplish with Veeam backups? Well, for starters, we can send our Veeam backup files off-site for a very cheap price. CloudBerry makes it easy to synchronize the files in multiple locations. Worth mentioning is that Veeam Backup & Replication v10 is going to support native integration with object storage, support will include AWS S3/Glacier & Swift along with Microsoft Azure BLOB being announced. While we can configure our backup jobs in a particular fashion to eliminate operations such as synthetic fulls and transforms which are not object storage friendly, it is just simply not a very eloquent solution.Ĭurrently, the best option for sending large amounts of Veeam backups data into cloud object storage is still using a VTL cloud gateway device. At this stage though, I am not aware of any VTL devices compatible with B2.ĭealing with object storage can be quite tricky with Veeam, it must be noted that this not a problem of the object storage but because of the way Veeam writes files and handles its files. For larger businesses, I would only consider a VTL cloud gateway device that can leverage B2 for the backend storage. Other options I would consider would involve leveraging CloudBerry for small to medium businesses and even GoodSync for smaller mom and pop style shops for sending Veeam backups into B2. In the case of Veeam, this means we need to rely on a ‘cloud gateway’ which there are several options available that are compatible with B2, in this particular article, I have explored configuring a Synology DS1812 with the CloudSync package. So Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, in a nutshell, it works similar to Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure, allowing us to store vast quantities of data in the cloud but does it for 1/4th the cost of your typical object storage provider.īecause B2 doesn’t include any client software to interface with any time we access the storage we need to use either the web GUI, API or CLI. ![]()
