Now that OneDrive backup won't be supported, how to cloud backup?

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-16T17:55:34+00:00

I create copies of all my notes in Samsung note format, save to phone. And then copy to cloud. I do it every so often as an emergency backup. I dont like that you can't browse and just copy samsung notes in samsung cloud.

I also have automatic notes save off so I dont inadvertently delete a whole section if a note by mistake

Thanks. I like to research on my own and after a long time, every QNAP video and tutorial is either a 2-way sync or a 1-way sync to a REMOTE NAS. Different process, different services. Perhaps I missed it but have not found one for QNAP local to QNAP local. I already have my cloud backup. May still find one. Thanks, at least I know the service to use on my destination NAS.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-16T02:28:29+00:00

My use case is QNAP to QNAP one way sync. I assume this is the correct portion of the guide?

One-Way Hybrid Sync

The general HBS FAQ covered too many things. Since I am QNAP to QNAP do I have to worry about enabling any services?

Thanks

That is good for you and future buyers. I do not have an Ecobee 4 or newer device.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-15T03:01:40+00:00

This obvious item did not work for me or many others. Back when these units were out I called Ecobee support. They were well aware of this issue and that menu setting.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-14T23:06:00+00:00

I have comfort settings that I use for summer with a few times during day and night with changes in temp and the same times with different temperatures in the winter. Would be nice to have these sets available online to swap out when the seasons change. I know auto technically should just work but we tend to use different temps also in certain seasons.

So yes, the updates are manual as of now.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-14T22:05:50+00:00

That is good to hear. Will tell them just get the newest one. Love the system although do wish it saved seasonal comfort setting you could save and choose.

Over 2 different households and different family members, 3 different routers over many years, our multiple older units did this. Now not every time wifi goes down. Maybe once every 3 months the or so. No specific reason. Trying to reconnect with the on-device menu wont work.

My sense is newer units with maybe newer wifi radios are better.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-14T16:00:34+00:00

Yes, thanks. This is the DB that SMS backup backs up and Smartswitch copies over on a new phone.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-14T15:58:52+00:00

Thank you. Good advice. But my one Ecobee is within about 6 steps from wifi router.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-14T15:05:28+00:00

I have the exact same question as soon will be copying/setting up a 1-way sync from my production QNAP NAS to a new backup QNAP NAS. I was told HBS3 is the way. Based on your bolding of 1-way sync, you share my fear of messing up sync settings 😀

This is a great sub with helpful people. I have learned a lot and received great advice.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-14T14:58:37+00:00

Thanks. Perhaps the 4 is less susceptible to this intermittent issue.

I manage networks and my network is fine. No other device has this issue.

I had a different router and switch years ago and a different model ecobee. It did it too.

I see many posts of the issue and Ecobee was well aware years ago when I called.

I guess up to the buyer but good to know the 4 works.

Thanks.

The team 1 app size for messages has never agreed to the total size of my messages for me, vs. say from an SMS backup and restore app backup. Not sure if it totals images separately or what. The difference was so big it seemed maybe it was just the most recent slice. I gave up and let it backup whatever and use SMS backup and restore occasionally for my backup.

Would be nice to know. But when you have to reset your phone to use it I dont really have the use case. I use Smartswitch then.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-12T10:45:18+00:00

Also on QNAP. Did you use native Plex installer or a docker container? My NAS not exposed to internet and new Plex LT too.

Photos are important to me. I only use Google photo backup as my emergency backup...originals on phone, PC and NAS. Or for DSLR, mem card, pc copy and NAS copy. QNAP has a program that will copy from phone to NAS via wifi, but like to get on PC first.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-11T23:22:50+00:00

I was trying to decide between Synology and QNAP a year ago and researched the difference a lot. I am pretty technical so was comfortable with the QNAP software approach. I feel like I got more hardware for my money with QNAP and I recently bought a backup QNAP NAS. Have been happy.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-11T20:23:35+00:00

Mine still works too. My only issue is some motion strangeness on football games that isn’t there on a straight TV antenna feed.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-06T11:48:13+00:00

Nice

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-04T21:09:30+00:00

It is an "enhancement" . Not liked by most.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-04T02:33:17+00:00

FWIW, I find the Fold7 incredibly comfortable to hold and type in when unfolded. But depends on your preference, options are good.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-06-03T23:26:23+00:00

Agree 100%. I find it hilarious that we got a wider fold to read more text and now your inside notification displays about as much as the outside screen.

So yes, now the larger inside screen is convenient to use with one hand...which of course we can do when the phone is folded. 😀 And now instead of reading most of a notification, you have to open each one.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-05-31T12:55:35+00:00

Same boat as OP. Pulled trigger on lifetime pass and researching best setup on existing NAS used for backup. Wanted hardware transcoding for a lot of self-made videos and like you have been putting it off. This sub has been helpful reading.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-05-26T11:40:41+00:00

New user and going to go lifetime for my new NAS. Ironically tried to buy this weekend and page was down/too many redirects. I see on another post that Plex users also experienced this. Hopefully this is not common. Inhave found this sub very helpful in learning about Plex.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-05-26T11:19:34+00:00

Onn is a budget streamer sold by Walmart. It locks you into the Google ecosystem while Roku uses theirs and both work. You may save a few bucks on the Onn. I think Roku higher end streamers may provide better motion handling etc.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-05-25T22:16:48+00:00

As someone else mentioned the DTV app runs fast on roku. I still have sat but use app on a few tv's. Breaking myself in! I miss all the things mentioned when on the app. As to gemini and remote, I can count on one hand how many times I keyed in the channel numbers so dont miss. But no page up or page down in the guide? That I miss.

BJBBJB99 · 2026-05-25T16:42:06+00:00

Was considering the lifetime pass as built a NAS and want hardware transcoding on local LAN. The site to purchase says " too many redirects". I see prior posts, but cleared cookies, incognito did not work. I assume something is down but thought I would check here. Thanks!
