Discussion Quorum posted:

I'm trying to set up my home backup system and the options are making my head swim a bit in terms of how they might interact or interfere with each other.

Here is the setup: I want to have the various computers in the house backing up to the Synology NAS, and the NAS backing up those backups, as well as some centrally stored data, to a cloud service (B2, Glacier, Wasabi, etc.). Being able to centrally manage would be nice as well, as would having the same system across Windows and Linux clients. I want to get this as close to "set it and forget it" as possible and will tolerate extra up-front computer touching to make it happen.

I think using Veeam to back up the PCs to a network share on the NAS, and then using Hyperbackup on the NAS to push everything into the cloud, is the way to go - but am I going to run into issues of these services stepping on each other? Should I stick to something "dumber" for the first step (say rsync) and use NAS btrfs snapshots+HyperBackup to handle deduplication and versioning locally and in the cloud?

You're on the right track, any of those would work. I use Active Backup for Business to backup each PC to NAS as well as an RPi with Linux, it does de-duplication and is a full drive/system backup. Then to cloud, Hyperbackup to Wasabi (which for me was the most economical and twice the speed as Synology C2 due to where the data centers are located). I had tried btrfs snapshots but it's a bit overkill and not as straightforward as I hoped to setup and maintain.
