I had a Synology DS412+ using their glacier interface to backup offsite. Pictures, personal dvd/bluray collections and music collections. Moved internationally and the NAS/hard drives didn’t fit into our weight/damage potential allowance. So we opted for the nuclear option of keeping it all on ice and paying through the nose to get it all back locally later.

Looking at one of the UGREEN boxes and some sort of port of the synology os/apps to pull it back down. Worst case scenario, I grab a new synology box and pay their hardware premium to recover things. The hope is to move away from both Synology and Amazon as much as possible.

Nothing is set in stone though, it’s a project for later once the savings is replenished and we have some more discretionary funds.

Amazon Glacier at like US$23/month for around 10 TB. It’s going to be a nightmare expense to pull it all back out though, especially after building a new NAS at these current prices.

Well played

Sorry mate, you seem to have spelled Vegemite wrong

One I’ve heard around a few times is “What if Soy milk is just Spanish milk introducing itself?”

Where do you find a dog with no legs?

Nice work grabbing the THPS and the Oddworld set. You’ve got some good taste there! I burned many an hour working through Crash Bandicoot as well

We called those ones “weekend hippies”

Many thanks for that. Those look like reasonable places to start mapping out strategy and hardware investments.
