To fix this issue you just need to change the polling period in Cloud Sync from the default 60 seconds to something more manageable, I’ve set mine currently to 3,600 without any issues: I’ve had a couple people state they’ve had issues with getting messages from Backblaze regarding reaching the Class C Transaction Cap, which is 2,500 daily. Let me know what you think about Backblaze in the comments below. Finally, confirm the settings and click on Apply.Īt this point your files will start being backed up to Backblaze using the Synology Cloud Sync app and you’ll have little worry about a Backblaze and/or Synology update breaking your backups!.Now you’ll want to select a Local Path (a folder on the NAS) you want backed up, then adjust the other settings to your liking and click Next.Now enter your Account ID and Application Key from Step 5 above and select your bucket from the drop down menu, then click on Next.Then select Backblaze B2 from the list of providers and click on Next.Next open Cloud Sync and click on the plus ( +) button in the bottom left corner.Go to your Package Manager > Backup > and click on Install under Cloud Sync. Now log into your Synology admin interface.Next click on the Create Application Key button and then make note of both your Account ID and Application Key.After you’ve create a bucket, now click on the Show Account ID and Application Key link.Now give your bucket a name and more importantly make sure you set your bucket to “Private” – unless you want everyone to see your files.After the account has been created we need to create a “bucket” where all the files will be stored, so click on Create a Bucket.First you obviously need a Backblaze account, if you haven’t already signed up do so now.No need to worry about upgrades breaking your backups or 3rd party solutions!

In this post I’ll be showing you just how easy it is to use Backblaze on your Synology Diskstation NAS – all with native Synology apps. Well one option would be to upgrade to the more expensive Crashplan business plan or another option would be to check out Backblaze! Immediately people started asking me on twitter for alternatives.

In case you’ve missed it, Crashplan announced yesterday that they are no longer offering a family backup plan but instead focusing on business plans.
