Similarly, QNAP supports backing up and syncing to B2 via their Hybrid Backup Sync software. For more information about Synology's cloud sync, refer here: Synology NAS devices can sync their data to our cloud storage service, B2, via Synology's Cloud Sync software. A number of NAS devices can backup to B2 directly using their own native apps, such as Synology, QNAP, and FreeNAS devices. for Mac and Windows with support for FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure & OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. However, using our B2 cloud storage service, NAS devices can be backed up offsite. A user could mount the 10 or 20 computers in their home or small business and back them all up to one account for $7/month. Install on Linux, Windows and NAS (such as Synology and QNAP), or deploy as a VMware vSphere VA, Nutanix AHV VA or Amazon Machine Image (AMI). Backing up mounted or network drives can easily be abused. The upside is, I don't require a NAS in order to restore any client system data.Backblaze online backup can theoretically backup a network drive, network share, or NAS device, but for business reasons do not allow it. The downside is I have to pay for multiple licenses of the client application.

Restoration requires that I have a copy of the backup data (I maintain three+ versions) and the client application. This approach provides me with all the features of a quality backup compression, dedupe, incremental, block-level backup, etc. My current scenario uses a full-featured backup application on each client system that saves the backup data to my NAS, which is copied to an external drive and the cloud. Is there anything I can do on the ABB side to make backing up the ABB data to B2 more efficient/faster?

I'm assuming CloudSync is not capable of backing up the ABB store.Having never used Active Backup, I have a few questions: Synology support has pointed me to a Backblaze blog post about backing up ABB with HyperBackup. I'm considering using Synology's Active Backup for Business but I'm unclear about how that app formats its backup and how the ABB storage can be backed up to B2. I then backup the nas backup share to BackBlaze B2 via the CloudSync app. (Synology developers simply acknowledged that HyperBackup is not compatible.

I currently backup several LAN systems to a shared folder on my NAS using individual backup apps on each machine. I recently discovered that Synologys HyperBackup can backup to Wasabi in an object-locked bucket, however it will not be able to delete older versions after the retention period is over, leading to ever-expanding backup sizes and costs.
