![]() ![]() With a pretty good idea of what WinCat does and how its layout functioned, we clicked Add Volume, and the Add Volume dialog appeared. In small and medium businesses (SMBs), you will often find a Network Attached Storage (NAS). An NAS is great for a lot of things, but especially for file storage. Nobody likes their files to get lost or corrupted and therefore backups are a must, something we will dive into today. Now I need to backup some files myself as well, and what would be a better place than Azure Storage? Three weeks ago I purchased a new NAS myself, the Synology rs1619xs+, as an addition to my already present ubiquiti rack and network setup. Let's check how this is done! Configuring backups to Azure To my surprise Synology offers a connector to Azure, to allow frequent backups to an Azure Storage Account. ![]() The configuration process is quite straightforward. To start with, the Cloud Sync package needs to be installed on your Synology system. This can be done by going to the Package Center, searching for Cloud Sync and pressing Install. After it is installed, you can click on Open or open it via the menu. When no connections have been set up yet, you will be greeted with an interface to select your backup provider. In our case this will be Azure Storage, but many options are available, such as OneDrive and Sharepoint.īefore we continue further, we do need to have an Azure Storage Account that we can use for our backups. Create a Storage Account and configure it to your requirements for storing backups, or use an existing one. When your Storage Account has been created or you already have one available, navigate to it via the Azure Portal and go to the Access Keys tab underneath the Security + Networking category. Here you will find 2 Access keys, of which we just need the first key.
