Run RcloneView on OpenMediaVault — Cloud Backup for Your DIY NAS

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

OpenMediaVault (OMV) gives you a powerful NAS on budget hardware. But local storage alone isn't safe. Add RcloneView to push your NAS data to the cloud for disaster recovery.

OpenMediaVault is the go-to NAS OS for DIY builders — run it on an old PC, a Raspberry Pi, or purpose-built hardware. It provides RAID, SMB/NFS sharing, and a web interface. What it doesn't provide is cloud backup. RcloneView fills that gap, running as a Docker container on OMV and syncing your shares to any of 70+ cloud providers.

Manage SMB/CIFS Network Shares — Sync Office File Servers to Cloud with RcloneView

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

Your company's file server has been running for years. Everyone accesses it via mapped network drives. But it has no offsite backup, and remote workers can't reach it from home. Cloud sync solves both problems.

SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block / Common Internet File System) is the protocol behind every Windows shared folder, NAS file share, and office file server. It's reliable and fast on local networks, but it wasn't designed for cloud integration or remote access. RcloneView bridges that gap — connect your SMB shares and sync them to any cloud provider for backup, remote access, and disaster recovery.

Run RcloneView on Unraid — Cloud Backup and Multi-Cloud Sync for Your Server

Unraid is brilliant for local storage. But parity drives don't protect against fires, theft, or ransomware. Add RcloneView to back up your shares to the cloud with a visual file manager.

Unraid is one of the most popular home and small business server platforms. Its parity-based storage protects against drive failures, but local protection isn't enough. For true data safety, you need offsite backups. RcloneView runs as a Docker container on Unraid, adding visual cloud management and automated backup capabilities to your server.

Run RcloneView on TrueNAS for Cloud Backup and Multi-Cloud Sync

TrueNAS gives you rock-solid local storage with ZFS. But local storage alone isn't a backup strategy. Add RcloneView to sync your NAS datasets to the cloud with a visual file manager.

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) is one of the most popular NAS operating systems, trusted for its ZFS-powered data integrity. But ZFS protects against drive failures, not against fires, theft, ransomware, or site-wide disasters. For true data protection, you need offsite backups. RcloneView adds visual cloud management to your TrueNAS setup, making it easy to sync datasets to any of 70+ cloud providers.

How to Back Up Your NAS to Multiple Clouds — 3-2-1 Backup Strategy with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

One cloud backup is good. Two cloud backups is better. The 3-2-1 rule says: 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 off-site. Your NAS is copy one. Cloud A is copy two. Cloud B is copy three. RcloneView automates all of it.

A NAS is a fantastic centralized storage solution, but it's still a single device in a single location. Hardware failure, fire, theft, or natural disasters can destroy it along with everything on it. Backing up to multiple cloud providers — on different infrastructure, in different regions — gives you true disaster recovery.

Use RcloneView with QNAP NAS — Cloud Backup and Multi-Cloud Sync for Your NAS

· 2 min read

QNAP NAS devices store your most important data locally. But local-only storage means local-only risk — hardware failure, fire, theft, or flood can take everything. Cloud backup via RcloneView adds off-site protection with 70+ cloud providers.

QNAP NAS offers built-in cloud sync through HBS 3 (Hybrid Backup Sync), but its cloud provider support is limited compared to rclone's 70+ providers. RcloneView, running on a desktop or dedicated device connected to your QNAP, gives you access to every provider rclone supports — plus visual management, folder comparison, and batch jobs.

Run RcloneView on Synology NAS — Cloud Backup and Sync from Your NAS

Your Synology NAS holds terabytes of irreplaceable data. Synology's built-in Cloud Sync works for basic setups, but when you need multi-cloud management, scheduling, folder comparison, and batch jobs — RcloneView fills the gaps.

Synology NAS devices are excellent for centralized local storage, but their cloud integration has limits. Synology Cloud Sync supports about 20 cloud providers with basic sync. Synology Hyper Backup handles backups but lacks multi-cloud file management. RcloneView complements both with 70+ cloud providers, visual file management, and advanced automation.

Stream and Sync Put.io Media Files to Your NAS or Cloud Drive with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

Put.io is great for cloud downloading, but getting those files organized and onto your NAS or Plex server usually means manual transfers. RcloneView automates the entire pipeline.

Put.io is a popular cloud service that fetches files for you — torrents, direct links, and more — storing them in the cloud for instant streaming. But once files are on Put.io, most users manually download them to a local drive or NAS. RcloneView connects directly to Put.io and automates the entire workflow: sync new downloads to your Synology NAS, Plex library, Google Drive, or any other storage.

How to Back Up All Google Photos to an External Drive or NAS with RcloneView

Google Photos stores your memories, but what happens if your account is locked, storage fills up, or Google changes its policies? A local backup ensures your photos are always yours.

Google Photos is convenient — until it isn't. Storage limits, account suspensions, and policy changes can all threaten access to years of irreplaceable photos and videos. Google Takeout exists but is painfully slow, fails on large libraries, and doesn't support incremental updates.

RcloneView offers a better way: connect directly to Google Photos, browse your library visually, and sync everything to an external drive, NAS, or another cloud — with automatic scheduling so future photos are backed up too.

Fastest Way to Replicate Data Between Synology NAS and Cloud Storage with RcloneView

· 7 min read

Senior Engineer

Your Synology NAS holds terabytes of critical data. Getting it to the cloud quickly isn't optional — it's essential. Here's how to maximize every megabit of your connection with RcloneView.

Most NAS-to-cloud backup guides stop at "set it up and wait." But when you're replicating hundreds of gigabytes — or terabytes — between a Synology NAS and a cloud provider, transfer speed becomes a real bottleneck. RcloneView gives you the tools to push your connection to its limits while keeping transfers reliable and verifiable.
