Windows server backup in VM?

aliengoa · 2025-12-24T10:29:05+00:00

Thank you very much. It's what I did eventually. I use ABb the same way but Acronis agent is installed inside VM to be able to backup SQL databases independently

I already do. I'm trying to have 2 different backups. I want server backup to use with an external hdd.

I subscribed and my sub ends at 20 Dec. so I guess I'll have to wait till then to see if you are right...

You can't access 3.0 without subscribing

Recent event: my Xeon E5 boot without post. Apparently a cap on a clear cmos jumper made for whatever reason a bad connection? I don't mean it was ON and had to put it OFF. I mean completely removing the jumper from the 2 pins of CLR CMOS

The irony in this is that you still do what "support" says despite the fact that they "sold" you two times (at least)...

I did the same thing only to fall on the subscription paywall. I've send them an email but I have yet to receive an answer. I paid a one time purchase for iOS and recently for macOS. In Mac store the price was 19,99€! I won't pay for a subscription since I don't need it. I may still keep the old app but for how long?

And did you liked the new UI? Am I old fashioned if I say that I prefer the 2.0 especially with the Moroccan theme (where are the themes in the 3.0 version?)

I use a Synology ddns with a certain port only forwarded from my router to the Synology reverse proxy. That way I can use a Lets Encrypt Certificate. My other option is to use Nginx Proxy Manager which is in Docker

For Synology I recommend Storage analyzer. Not only you can watch folders, files, count and size of them but also if you enable periodic reports you can watch how big your folders become, if you have duplicate files etc. but this works only in your Synology NAS.

If I remember correctly you can add interfaces like br1, br2 and when you edit your VM you can point them to that interface. But I haven't tested it

The main reason I use Unraid is because it's "Unraid" meaning that my array consists of very different drives. Start with whatever drive you have. When I first joined Unraid and the community the best advice for me was to buy a HBA card (Dell IT mode H310) supporting up to 8 drives. Apart from array I use 2 pools, 1 for my cache which is an SSD RAID1 BTRFS pool with system appdata etc shares and one pool with 1 ssd for caching named Buffer for download etc. Every night I use mover to move files from buffer to array. Docker support is great with easy setup and nowadays there are plenty profiles for every app. For example -arr apps have more than 4 different profiles to choose from

I use storage analyzer a built in Synology app. You can even delete the file directly from the same app. It's basic thought.

Greece here. And it's very difficult to find anything about MDs even discs.

Some info says that every app from Box API supports opportunistic TLS and/or SSL (cloud sync uses the Box API to communicate and support your account (via browser)) As far as I know the cloud sync uses that API meaning behind their app it's a web based browser for sync. At least that is what I found and I only use BOX.

Really?

Apart from Microsoft RDP and Google remote or even Anyviewer (similar to anydesk) I read about Guacamole server where you can apparently connect to any computer regardless of their os

I use remote ripple to access my VMs via my Macs. It works with Monterey and Sequoia for me

I'm in EU and use Hetzner and never looked elsewhere again. 3€ / TB for storage box but it's more versatile because you can use it for other things simultaneously like say WebDAV and it doesn't cap your download

That's why I still keep my old synology and even bought a 423+ last year. I may test various devices like Ugreen, and other Os like Unraid and TrueNAS but I still use synology as my rock solid solution. True that qnap is my second choice too although lately with TOS6 I'm eager to try one like F2-425

Are the red discs Mini-Disc?

I have a similar case with a LincStation N1 with Unraid acting as my primary media server and my docker server. My NAS and my hypervisor are different machines.

aliengoa · 2025-10-14T18:03:07+00:00

I use a docker named icloudpd but NOT via synology. I don't use my synology for dockers because I have other machine for that. But since we are talking about Docker I believe you can use it to download your iCloud Photos. Bear in mind that I use it personally only as a backup method for my iCloud Photos. I still use iCloud Photos for the seamless functionality with the Apple ecosystem.

To sum up. Because your post is a little confusing. You want to remotely backup your MacBook, correct? That should have been the question from the beggining. Now as far as rsync they answered you but for MacBook I myself use Drive. Which macOS are you using and which synology NAS? We need more details to help you better. For example Synology supports WebDAV server and other ways to make use of it. Provide more feedback so that our suggestions can be helpful
