Hi, wanting to move my 3rd location storage from in the cloud at C2 to my own hardware at a relatives house. The only requirement is that it works with Synology hyper backup. Any suggestions?

    I use hyper backup to backblaze pretty cheap and to a friends house were I just have a smaller Synology and use hyper backup to store a copy there. And use hyper backup to backup hourly snapshots to a external 12tb drive. I’m only backing up photos from my phone and wife’s phone. And some docs . So it’s maybe 3tb on my main NAS.

    So maybe just get a cheap 2 bay Synology? They are like $200 on amazon.

    Synology sells single bay units now, but anything that has network connectivity should work fine. If this is just off-site backup, find whatever is the cheapest. If an RPi with a USB attached disk is cheaper, do that.

    You can find MiniPCs of all sorts really cheap now, though almost all have smaller onboard SSD storage.
