What happens when your Synology fails?
I can’t speak for other users, but my Synology setup looks like this:
- NAS - 1 drive redundancy via hybrid RAID.
- Important folders have recycling bins enabled and I have versioning, too.
- Daily backup to a local external drive.
- Daily, encrypted backup to the cloud.
- Monthly, off-site HDD backup.
This is honestly a much more secure way of storing my photos than Google Photos.

This is my setup using the 3, 2, 1 rule:
3: Raid 5 setup with 2 unused drives and setup to automatically spool up and recover if one of the drives starts failing. 2: off-site at the father in laws house (using a Xpenology super tiny PC and an external drive) 1: Monthly Backblaze
While there is risk, it’s def safer if not safer than Google drive.
