My current setup is as follows:
Main Desktop computer has OS/application SSD + separate internal hard drive for data.
The Data hard drive is backed up (via crashplan) to another internal hard drive (inside same desktop...i know)
The Data hard drive is also backed up to crashplan cloud.
All mobile (mainly pictures) & laptop (mainly videos, work files) data remain on mobile/laptops and are backed up manually once in a while (this is getting hectic and I want to automate pictures/video backup on mobile devices)
I am planning on changing my setup (and automate) so that my data (work & personal) is available to me anywhere (mobile, laptop, main desktop) and I am thinking as follows:
Main Desktop with OS/App SSD + Internal Data Hard drive
Local external NAS will sync (separate folders for each device on nas) to each device with mobile (ios mainly, 1 android device), laptops (mac + windows), and few other desktops (mac + windows).
NAS and my internal Data Hard drive to Sync at all times.
Internal Data Hard drive will be backed up to crashplan cloud.
Example:
Hard Drive folder 1<-> NAS folder 1<-> iphone1
Hard Drive folder 2<-> NAS folder 2 <-> Mac1
Hard Drive folder 3 <-> NAS folder 3 <-> Mac2
Hard Drive folder 4<-> NAS folder 4 <-> Windows1
Hard Drive folder 5<-> NAS folder 5<-> Android1
and so on.
Complete Hard drive -> backed up to crashplan cloud.
Can this be accomplished ?
For NAS, should i go with Synology ds215j or QNAP TS-251 ? (Qnap is ~$100 more expensive which is not an issue).
