 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. I want to do a video about a backup workflow for Video creators who are out there on the road Producing video whether you're maybe just in any any circumstance. You're out of your usual home office location You're you know, you're whatever your home base is and either you're shooting video or you're just on vacation But you want to you're producing video while you're there and you want to keep your video backup workflow going So I've done videos about video backup backup is a huge long-standing interest of mine Even though it's admittedly not the sexiest Topic and video is a newer interest of me and when you're creating video you end up producing quite a lot of data so I recommended before the Synology network attached storage NAS is I own the DS920 plus and it's really an integral part of my backup procedure and if you own a Synology NAS you actually have pretty much everything That you need in order to get a three two one compliant video backup workflow, even if you're not on location Yes, you can bring, you know external STDs And storage with you on the road and back up to that But you can actually if you have a good internet connection to use While you're in that remote location, you can actually do everything with your existing gear So I want to just do a quick diagram. I love this software Draw.io. They have a nice little Linux client. I'm just going to Use a few clip art logos in order to explain what this workflow would involve so this airplane represents you in whatever Lovely part of the world you find yourself in that you're producing videos and let's say you're a youtuber So you are pushing your videos up to you YouTube So this much is pretty simple you're on your remote location and you're creating YouTube videos So you're going to be uploading your videos to YouTube as represented by this arrow Now that's as anyone who's into backup knows you can rely on YouTube for backup purposes because YouTube is going to be compressing your video and even if you extract your video from YouTube Which you can do you're extracting it after YouTube's compression. So you always want to keep your originals So I don't recommend storing them on whatever you're bringing with you on the road Let's say it's a laptop So if you have an NES at home, then you can actually use quick connect So let me bring in our NES or the representation of the NES So from wherever you are in the world, it's actually going to be pretty simple video because it's not really explaining that much But I'm just trying to show how the moving parts can fit together now What you're going to use here is quick connect if you don't if you don't have quick connect Enabled on your Synology then it's definitely worth setting that up now So to have it ready to go before you go the beauty of quick quick connect is that it doesn't require Port forwarding so you don't need to change your network Synology have a whole white paper where they explain exactly how this works. It's a little bit complicated But it uses something like a relay service So basically quick connect is going to make your NES available from the wide area network right from outside your home network, so That's one way to get it there. So you can do Firstly put up your videos to YouTube or wherever your videos are going and then you can also push that file to your NES Using quick connect, but that's not all you can do for backup purposes for the three two one backup rule I'm just going to randomly plot some text here three two one backup rule as any backup aficionado knows It requires that you have Three copies of data two Different sorry two backups on two different media and one backup copy off-site, right? So we want to have our data is going to be on YouTube We have our on-site copy that we're creating here by pushing the file to our to our NES sitting on our home network so just important ideally have your NES on something like a UPS or You know just make sure it's online while you're on the road And that your networks up and everything should work perfectly and the final icing on the cake here Let's see if we have a cloud icon here. I imagine we do yep and then All you need to do is when you get into DSM remotely you want to upload your videos to some volume on the NES that is connected to To cloud storage and this is going to be I'm just going to copy and paste this Via cloud sync so this can run automatically. Okay, so whether you're using the one I use personally and recommend is Backblazes b2, so I'm just going to put their logo here. You can use s3 or any cheap object cloud storage So this is just just to quickly Reiterate what I'm doing here. You're on the road. You're producing video. You can bring with you You know stuff like plug-in External SDDs and do all this stuff when you go back from your trip Or if you have a good internet connection to work with by which I mean a decent upload because you're going to be pushing data Through the cloud here, then you can use the following workflow You can after you upload your video to YouTube you can use Synology quick connect DSM quick connect Which needs to be set up beforehand? So do that before you go on your trip and I test it I just tested my quick connects and going on a trip soon Using a cellular network and was able to remotely push a file onto my NES and then you want to upload your Videos into a folder that's connected via cloud sync with an automatic backup rule that whatever you put in that folder is Going to be automatically Replicated to the cloud and this is going to give you I'll just put it in text here your off-site Backup and that's pretty much there is all there is to it So if you already own one of these great devices from Synology, you already have cloud sync set up You already have your off-site backup set up in somewhere like b2 or s3 Then you're pretty much set to just go and you can just go with your laptop Do your video work on the go and everything set up all you need to do is push it into your the folder on your DSM And all the 3 2 1 compliant backup is going to be taken care of and you can get back to your home And everything's already backed up perfectly So if you're into backup and you want a way to do a remote backup While you're on the road and you own your Synology DSM then this workflow should work out pretty nicely for you Hope this video was was worth your time and if you'd like to get more videos from me, please subscribe to this YouTube channel
