So unless you find an amazingly good deal like I did, to experiment with it and see if they've at least improved the service or you have the time and energy to figure it out by any means, I'd say settle for a service that is supported by Hyper Backup, such as Synology C2. I didn't even get to the point of test recovery before giving up. It's unresponsive, buggy, barely has any buttons that react to user input and overall this whole experience was just.weirdly bad. Then their real website is another story. Because of the way it works I think I ended up syncing the same things over and over again but I just couldn't figure out what it was doing and how I was supposed to operate it.

However, their Synology app is just simply terrible. The sync went relatively fast, even with encryption. I stumbled upon a great deal somewhere for $5 for 10TB on the first year (sorry can't find the code anymore) and set everything up, installed their app on the NAS and did some test backups.

I just tested iDrive recently from a Synology NAS. So, whoever finds this post and this comment. Seen the trustpilot reviews and will avoid it now.

Its not on my account so the only option is to just close the account and throw away the $7. They claim on their site they have an button for disabling auto renew.You close the app and it states it will close the app but actually puts it in the task tray.Then you go in the local client and it showes 70GB. The online client claimed 70GB was uploaded but the local client claimed 30GB. I'd left it running over night, with 200GB and it had only done about 30GB in 6hrs.Checked the Sonicwall and it was blocking it because it claimed its sending unencrypted traffic over SSL. Took the drive to work to try it and it refused to connect. I'm on Virgin and upload isn't too bad but to the iDrive server was slow. iDrive was one and their affiliate link meant it was only $7 for one year so thought I'd give it a try. Took a quick look at a youtube review of a few backup cloud storage. So what's the catch? What am I missing? Is there a hidden price hike coming? Are speeds to restore files painfully slow? Are they going to start throttling my uploads People who have had bad experiences with iDrive, what can you tell me?Ĭome here to rant. In just a few days it has backed up everything on both devices, compared to CrashPlan which takes months for a similar amount of data (and has stalled for the past month with little help from customer service in getting it unstuck). Then I saw iDrive had a pretty cheap first-year deal and reasonable prices thereafter, so I gave it a try. I considered Amazon Glacier and Backblaze B2, but with 6TB+ both were considerably more expensive than CrashPlan even for cold storage. So I looked around for a service I could use for my Mac and my NAS. They don't have an app that runs on the NAS for their Small Business accounts. Plus, I now have a NAS that I didn't when I started with them, and in order for me to keep it backed up, CrashPlan requires it be mounted, which I don't always want to do. I've been a CrashPlan user for 10+ years, but I'm increasingly frustrated with very slow speeds. Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context.
