So I picked up the Synology DS415+ and I'm trying to set up my backup of the NAS 3/2/1. I have a few external WD USB drives I used to run the SmartWare app on my desktop and rotate off site once a week. I really liked the set up because it was set it and forget it (beside switching the drive one a week). I would continue this back up over the network but I can't get the SmartWare to work with a map drive or network share. It ran in the background with low system impact. The files were password protected but still cross platform. I could connect the drive to any computer and enter a password and access my files. Right now I can set up a back up task on the NAS but I can't figure out how to protect the files in case the drive is stolen and if the NAS is stolen or dies I want to be able to recover my files to a different device. I'm having trouble getting back to the "set it and forget it", cross-platfrom, secure back up. Any ideas or suggests for software to help get my backups running?

Is crashplan  available on the DS415+? I'm pretty sure it encrypts backed up files before uploading to your backup location. I've used it on PCs and once the setup is done it's pretty much set + forget.

 

EDIT:

It seems that a docker container is better than running crashplan directly. Have a look at this for discussion of running Crashplan on Docker.

Crashplan is supported as an app. Docker does seem like the better option.

Austin Clark? how do you like the nas? I've been looking at one to replace my freenas box.
