    Synology NAS seem like a good fit if that's all you're running - it's
    got mail servers, collaboration servers, DNS servers, VPN servers, even support for running docker containers - all of which I'd rather spin a
    VM or container on Proxmox to support.

    I have the 920+ with 8gb of memory. I found their vm solution was just
    to slow.

    Mine's an old DS1010+, it's only got 2 or 4 gigs of RAM. The price was
    right, though - I got it at a tech thrift shop for $100!


    ... How did you find this place?

    Paulie, if you are interested in Synology, google Xpenology it is basically a Synology NAS on a real computer. I have a real Synology
    which handles my in house stuff, but I took an old computer I had, put
    32 gigs of Ram in it with 4TB of HD in it, I installed Proxmox on it,
    then installed a Xpenology VM on it, I use that one to back up my BBS'
    and as a File Server as it stores my File Libraries. Every other day,
    the Xpenology backs up the HD's to the real Synology so I have a backup
    of that.. My BBS' are on a seperate VLan from my in house set up so it works real well for me as my BBS' can not access my in house LAN but my
    in house LAN can access my BBS Lan..

    Ahhhh; now this sounds right up my alley. I currently use OpenMediaVault, and its great... but was thinking of using TrueNAS/FreeNAS for the next build - but
    will sniff Xpenology; it sounds like it might be a contender.

    Thanks.

    It runs real well, Active Backup for Business you have to massage it by judicious googling to get it activated but the rest runs real nice.. I own a real Synology and I have an Xpenology running. Only issue with it is updating, you can't do it online it has to be done by downloading the file then installing it over the existing version.. Lets be honest though, if it runs you
    forget it is even there until you get an email from it saying a drive is full or something like that.. I totally forgot my real one was backing up to an external drive until I got an email saying my external drive was full and backups could not continue..

    ... Press any key to continue or any other key to quit...
