How to synchronize a Synology NAS with Exoscale Object Storage
The Synology NAS is a very user-friendly storage system for private persons and small to medium businesses. It comes with a large number of applications and can synchronize with an Amazon S3-compatible storage, like Exoscale Simple Object Storage. This guide shows how to set synchronization with Exoscale SOS with the Cloud Sync application.
Note
This method synchronizes the Synology NAS with Exoscale SOS. It does not create a versioned backup. If you want to create a versioned backup, see the Hyper Backup guide.
Prerequisites
Before you start this guide, you will need to:
-
Create a SOS Bucket, either via the Portal or the CLI. See the Simple Object Storage documentation for more information.
-
Create an IAM key, also via the Portal or the CLI. See the IAM documentation for more information.
Install Cloud Sync
