Synology pushing to Backblaze B2 at 50mbps
-
I know we have discussed backup a synology to to Backblaze B2 with the built in tools before.
Well I recently reworked the backups at a client that already had them going to a Synology to be in a form better suited to push to B2 following this guide.
It has been working great. I have a 50mbps fiber at the site, and B2 just takes all it can get.

@JaredBusch I am not sure how you have been doing with this, but basically what I have found is that after a couple months the key with B2 does not work any longer and we need to add it again so we are constantly monitoring it. If you get into that issue maybe you can see something I did not see.

I have this same problem, it would be great to get some kind of email warning or something that it's not working.

two reports makes this a synology problem. or at least a problem with the app they allowed onto their unit. track down how support works for that.

Ran until 6am I believe it was about 100GB or so. Dunno why the upload dropped at 2am.
-
Ok, all backup sets redesigned. Nearly 2TB going up.
A quick calculator website says 80 hours or so, assuming 50mbps.
This will be a once per month push as I set the Veeam backup jobs to make new full backups on the first Friday of the month. I guess I will need to stagger the full backups. splitting the single big ones to their own Friday.
Otherwise, it will be daily incrementals going up.
-
Roughly 100GB of that 1.8 TB was already uploaded in the initial testing, so 1.7TB of new data to push.
Of course, by the time tonight hits, there will be new incrementals too.
-
Tweaked the app in the Synology to use 5 simultaneous uploads instead of 3 and the total upload speed got more consistent.

Around 6pm today stuff stopped moving.
I was stupid and dind't screenshot the Synology before rebooting, but is just said "Connecting"
It is currently rebooting.
-
After reboot, it is syncing again.
-
It should have stopped at 6pm because I have it scheduled to do so.
But it should have started again at 7pm. It has done that for a month with no problem that I know of.
-
Thing did not restart again after the 6pm stop for the new incrementals to run.
WTF Synology.
-
How do you like B2? Whats your avg cost per TB if you dont mind me asking.
I looked at it, but went with Amazon Drive since it was $60/TB/Yr. and used Hyper Backup. I would like something cheaper, but don't think I'll find much cheaper than that. lol.

How is the speed on Amazon drive? The price make me think they have a narrow pipe in and out, but I haven't tried it out.

Going up I was maxing my connection @ 20mbps. I havent actually tried restoring or anything. I added a bunch of stuff to the NAS today. So I will look at what Unifi states during the backup time. I am almost out of space on Amazon, so got to purchase more.
-
@RojoLoco Here is the upload from Unifi, pretty much constant of 15+ mbps

I do not know if this affected me this morning or not.
The unit was still showing that it had sent data, but not all the data it should have been.
The status icon was a blue circle with dots spinning instead of the blue circle with arrows showing data transfer, or the green circle with a check showing up to date.
I clicked the pause sync button and the icon went green, but then i cuold not click unpause as it still showed paused.
I rebooted the unit and it immediately began to sync data that should already have been sent 2 weeks ago.
Sent a ticket off to Synology. We shall see what they say.

I am sure you have already done this, but there are no updates to either the app or Synology OS, right?

DSM updated last week. That app hasn't had an update.
