#IDRIVE SYNOLOGY BACKUP STOPS WINDOWS#

The other user is for Acronis (backup software), so it can write to a couple of backup shares on my Synology. So what I did was create two users, one for read/write access to only those couple of shares that clients need (general purpose file shares). I also have a couple of backup shares for Acronis that DO need write access, but only for Acronis and not by clients. The last thing I want is for those shares to be writable by my client computers. OneDrive and Dropbox) being sync'd locally to my Synology, as a backup measure. In my case (described more below) I have shares for cloud storage backups (e.g. Ransomware or a virus could be quite cleaver and look for network file shares to encrypt. On another security note, let's briefly talk about user accounts and file share access. I disabled IPv6 for other reasons, so I personally didn't see the slow share access issue pop up.

I chose not to configure a VPN here.įinally, if you have slow SMB share access via a Windows client, check out this thread on the Synology forums. So be careful whether you want to use this VPN, or possibly a Docker Container with a VPN that is more robust (which I'll cover later). However, it does not have a 'kill' switch option, which prevents traffic leaks in case the VPN goes down. If you want your NAS to connect to the internet via a VPN, you can also configure that here as well. Configuring this option creates Bond 1 in the network interface GUI. Balance-SLB was acting weird in my environment (some hosts randomly lost connectivity to the NAS), but Active/Backup has been rock solid. Don't bother with trying LACP (IEEE 802.3ad) with the GS116E, as it will NOT work. So for my situation I configured DSM networking for 'Active/Backup', and connected both NICs to my switch. It supports LAG, but not dynamic load balancing. I have a single Netgear GS116E, which is a managed but very entry level switch. So if you are a Nutanix customer, the options presented will seem familiar. Underneath the covers it uses OpenVSwitch. Configuring networking in DSM is straight forward, but you do have a few options. All of these settings are in the Control Panel under Network.
