My plan is to just dump a windows backup to the smb share and let it get captured and replicated up from there because ~who cares~

Crashplan client was nice though

install an iSCSI initiator and use your Synology as raw block storage

since it'll look like a local disk you can back it up with Backblaze

also there's an open source iSCSI initiator for Mac on Github now

i have a synology 2 bay thing, it works fine and it lets me use it as web downloads for factories in china that can't use google drive, dropbox, asana, wetransfer or literally anything you have ever heard of, or FTPs.

and i can run plex on it.

pretty trivial and you can mix and match drive capacities with the custom raid thing they're doing

My friend picked up a WD PR4100 and it's okay if you only want to run Plex on it and nothing else. It runs an old version of Busybox so if you want to run anything else the best bet is to run Docker, but it's got a comically old implementation of that running as well. We set the drives up as JBOD because redundancy isn't needed but didn't want to have 1 drive failure hose 40 TB of content, and there's a bunch of weird throughput issues under heavy I/O load, but that could just be Docker fuckery.

Plex does support hardware transcoding but I disabled it because like 22% of the time the output looks like complete trash.

based on years of cyberduck use im super curious. i used to use it to access and edit files because itd pull on double click, open in an editor, and push on save. it was great for all sorts of stuff so them going the next step to make it act local as a drive is wonderful

transmit has transmit disk but 4 has less supported services. 5 is out now but not cross platform and pricier
