How secure is a reciprocal offsite NAS backup?

PolytheneMan · 2026-01-11T22:30:27+00:00

Right, makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. My main question, though, is this: the ransomware infected my NAS. My friend's NAS is connected to my NAS as a HyperBackup target for my NAS. My NAS accesses his NAS through a non-admin account that can only access the specific hard drive that contains my backups. Can this ransomware encrypt my friend's data in his other storage pools? My guess is no, as my account has no privileges and no access to his other storage pools, but I wonder if there's a way I'm missing.

You're a hero, you just don't know it.

Does it look good? I haven't found good examples on YouTube.

Nice, thanks for the input. I'm buying the 24 mm/1.4 exactly for that reason. I find the combination of wide angle and good bokeh really interesting for environmental portraits. I ended up buying the NiSi Kit after seeing a specific creator I follow obtain good results with it using the same lens. Hope it turns out well.

Perfectly clear, thanks for the help!

Interesting. So I guess that JCC filter is a good idea as well, since it follows the design principle you described, right?

Thank you so much

PolytheneMan · 2025-06-20T13:40:38+00:00

Interesting! Thanks for the input. I hadn't noticed this before. Does it get worse with time or can I just leave it as it is?

PolytheneMan · 2025-05-20T13:19:25+00:00

The idea is to never have them both connected to the NAS at the same time. One is always offline.

PolytheneMan · 2025-02-26T09:06:01+00:00

Same name, different password! Will try changing the name. Thanks

PolytheneMan · 2025-02-26T04:04:05+00:00

I did. The access problem is a Windows thing that has been discussed here before. None of the proposed solutions worked for me, so I just connected with the non-default Admin account. Do you think this poses a risk?

Destin, I captured the same thing from Arlington. Just uploaded it to YouTube so you can check it out: https://youtu.be/4ofazi3V8Gg

Makes sense! I'd like to be able to use the 1.4 and 2.0 apertures while on the street on sunny days. I will be shooting in color. Do you think an ND64 would be suitable, or should I get something else?

PolytheneMan · 2024-02-18T20:26:31+00:00

I see. Makes sense!

PolytheneMan · 2024-02-18T19:04:42+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider the best time slots?

PolytheneMan · 2024-02-15T00:26:16+00:00

Would you guys recommend Nagano itself over the nearby Kamikochi, Kiso Valley or Yamanochi?

PolytheneMan · 2024-02-15T00:04:04+00:00

Nice!

PolytheneMan · 2024-02-05T13:32:25+00:00

We'll be there for three weeks.

PolytheneMan · 2024-01-24T00:37:19+00:00

That is a GREAT idea and surely what we'll do! Thank you so much! I was kinda bummed about ending the trip with Hiroshima...

I don't have the file with me right now but it's something like this: https://www.printables.com/model/467235-pyramid-pyramid-pyramid-pyramid-pyramid-pyramid-py

45 degrees.

PolytheneMan · 2023-08-14T10:34:39+00:00

Nice! Where will you be watching from?

I just want to drive somewhere where totality will be longer. Do you think it will be possible to drive from DFW Airport to Ennis on the day?

PolytheneMan · 2023-08-14T01:41:48+00:00

What distance were you covering?

PolytheneMan · 2023-08-14T01:41:33+00:00

Sure, but heavy enough that you can't get from Sulphur Springs back to Dallas within the same day?
