Backup on a Synology NAS photos

I have a NAS Sonologie DS115j. Is there an easy way to back up photos on the NAS? "Show Package Contents" on the photo library file is an option, but that seems to be a ridiculous way to copy a file to a different location.  By selecting an exporter of files to a separate location also seems harder than it needs to be.  Has anyone came up with an easy solution, instead of copying the entire photo library?

I'm on OSX 10.10.5
and NAS Synology DSM 5.2

Do not back up a library of Photos to a NAS server.  The format of the server does not support the complex structure of the library with its database relational complex, the links between files and the required access permissions.  It is not supported as a viable backup for Photos or iPhoto library support.

The backup drive must be formatted as shown in this screenshot and be directly connected either USB, FW, or stroke, for the Mac.

  • IPhoto, Synology, NAS

    Hello

    I have a mac book pro, which runs from storage, mainly due to volume of the iPhoto library. I also have a synology NAS.

    What are my alternatives to move my iPhoto library to the NAS without losing the access from my other devices (i.e. with the help of my iPhone or iPad that are also related to the same iPhoto library).

    In other words, I would create my own iCloud, using my SIN.

    Kind regards

    I actually use the Photo, if it makes a change!

    Just out of curiosity, what level of overhead that you consider the size of the individual files would cause during a backup? In addition, we don't know what is his rate of connection or flow of how the card can support. He never specified this information, judging by its speed, and assuming that he is close to his router, it doesn't look like it is connected to a flow of link 300mbps.

  • WSX on Synology NAS?

    My goal is to access my virtual machines from a tablet or a smartphone. With WSX on my Windows host computer, I managed to control them pretty well (instead of using a client such as VNC or Teamviewer remote control).

    However, it would be easier to run WSX directly on the Synology NAS server on which most of my virtual machines is stored on a Samba share in all cases, and that works 24/7 in any case. With what CPU would that work? A certification as a 'VMware ready' (as for DS412 + and DS712 +) is essential for WSX work?

    WSX is not a part of the 'VMware Ready' certification program. Your SIN is probably recognized as storage and WSX will not work. (Although we do not have
    tried internally.) Even if you managed to get working on Synology WSX, you would still need an instance of Workstation or ESX elsewhere. WSX alone cannot host or run the virtual machine. In your case, you always have your Windows host machine upwards where Workstation is installed.

  • Installation of iTunes, Synology NAS,

    I can get a good guide on how to use my 716 + NAS synology, to store all my music files, and when I open itunes on my iMac, MacBook air, or windows laptop or even when I use AppleTV, I can access this music (if it is not stored locally on my computer)?

    Also, I tried this in the past, but with itunes on my iMac to restart, it would never ride my share, so he always missed the location default library itunes (locally) and mess substance upward.

    I see also synology has an Itunes Server package, that would be a solution?

    Thank you

    First, be aware that there are no rare posts here on NAS problems with iTunes.  NAS is great conceptually, but in execution of problems that can occur with iTunes and have done so for more than a decade.  Everyone makes fingers to everyone, but the main thing is that you always run a risk of a library mutilated.  Better is to use a simple external drive and use the NAS for backup.

    I think the server package is pretending to be a shared library iTunes without having an active version of iTunes open at the time.  Have you read the manual or online for the NAS documentation? I don't have one and what I know is people post questions here.

    The reason why you had problems before is your SIN is going to sleep and not wake up before launching iTunes.  The same thing would happen even if you use a simple external hard drive.  If it doesn't happen at startup, you can try to put an alias to the iTunes on the server application, then an alias to this alias in your computer and start iTunes this way, not directly from the computer.

  • I have an ERROR CODE 36 during the backup of my library of PHOTOS from one external drive to another. What is the best way to solve this problem? Also, what is someone used 'dot_clean '?

    I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.

    If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

    I always use the ios 7 because I like my reviews of iphoto, ios 8 and after don't support is not iphoto, I intend to upgrade to the latest version of ios. so my question is:

  • After you export a photo library of backup, how to delete the photos in the photo library of the system

    Hi, I use the pictures 1.2

    Each year, I export my library on a backup drive and give it the name of the given year. My next task was to remove unwanted pictures (about 10 K photos) from that same year, then keep those 'important' for me (stuff of family, work and other landscapes and al. stuff: about 2 000 pictures.) I don't remember how I used to do with iPhotos, but it seemed obvious. Now, with Photos, I see only two choices: either watch the complete list of the photos, then click on those that I don't have anymore (I do not see me scroll 12 000 photos and videos) opening of the events at the time and the option click all photos to delete (and not just remove them from the event).

    Deleting events without opening it won't because I get a message telling me (for good or bad reasons) that the photos are always going to be there. But then, imagine that I could remove the same with content pictures, I have about 300 events to remove, and they can be deleted one at a time.

    So my question is (and I already put it as a feature request to apple, just in case) how I mass delete unwanted items and their photos, or better yet, how can we keep all the photos that I like (Favorites, for example, or photos with celebrities...) and delete the rest?

    My library contains more than 200 GB on my MacBook Pro 500 GB HDD. I can't let it grow to 150 GB each year. and I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. In addition, I travel a lot in many countries with bad Internet connections, so I won't use iCloud.

    Thank you!

    How are 'export' your photo of the backup library?  You create a copy of your current photo on the backup disk library or using "file > export" to export the photos? Just to be sure, that your photos are safe.

    You can quickly find the photos to delete by creating a smart album with the rule "the Photo is not favorite" and "Date is in the range...". »

    File > new Smart Album:

    You can add a rule "keyword is not 5 stars", if you have added the side star as well.

    Then, select a range of photos in this smart album and enter the ⌘⌫ (command + delete) key combination.

    This will completely clear photos of the library.

    You can use the same combination of keys to remove the photos from iPhoto event albums in the Album section.  If you simply enter the delete key, the photo will be deleted only from the album, but remain in the library.

  • WRT 1900AC - 1st edition material last BIOS - backup on SLOW remote NAS!

    I've recently updated my (EasUS ToDo Backup) backup software and had reconfigure a drive mapping to make it work.  My backups now run about 4 - 5 times slower (17 hours instead of 4) with the same material.  I can't believe, the problem is in the backup software, but maybe it's in the way I "mapped" the drive and it referenced in the backup program.  I was going to put a couple of my systems to Win10 before the end of the free period of "update", so I want good system backup and restore capabilities, and a 17 hour backups is a problem.

    Win7 (x 64) on two computers at the present time.  One of them saved thanks to the new software very good speed, but the other took "forever" on the same wired LAN which is certified 1 Gbps.  I wanted to be able to change the NETBIOS name on the router so that I can include my IPV4 machines in a "working group" without a real host "server."  I note that working group I use WinXP, WinVista and Win7 to be able to do things simply in my LAN is NOT "WORKGROUP" and I suspect that a simple change in configuration of software for the backup program will solve my problem, namely not invokng a 'sharing' as the backup target, but instead use the 'Network' connection I have implemented directly targeting 192.168.1.1 instead the windows share name. (drive letter).

    Is there a plan to let people change the 'media services' and name of working group on the router of the hard coded in the current BIOS?

    @Fuzzy - TY for this review, but... The wiring that I use has a gigabit switch between ports on the router and the Linksys WRT-1900AC so there isn't that one ethernet connection actually connect the router to the cable modem and an ethernet connection between the router and the network that has been certified to 1 Gbit/s, when we installed it.  All Cat 6 cables.

    According to me, the difference is in the network I have called inavertently when I configured the Windows backup software.  Since the post I checked how I got the software set up on another computer "faster" and found that the slow backup worked via a 'mapped drive"on the local host, and ran that fast on a 'network' drive that I had specified as //192.168.1.1 with the password 'admin' WRT-1900-AC to ensure that any user configured on the machine had right to the root of the drive.  "Bad habits have life hard."

  • My Photos the passage to a new NAS from an old NAS?  Maintenance of LR catalog on my iMac.

    I have a new larger capacity NAS I want to migrate my entire folder of photos to and I'm confused as to how to do it properly.


    My current setup:

    Software - LR, catalogues, backups, etc. on my iMac

    -Photos (3 TB worth) on my QNAP NAS

    I want to keep catalogues, backups etc. on the iMac and just change the location of my pictures to a new Synology NAS expansion.

    How to make sure that that my LR catalog refers correctly to the new location of the photograph?  Just copy my photos on and then reconnect using my catalog?

    Or should I do an export in the catalogue operation, exporting all my photos to the new NAS and then re-import to Lightroom as a new catalogue and then disconnect the old SIN?

    Move photos using your operating system, then reconnect in Lightroom via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

    Your catalog backups must not be on the same hard drive as the working version of your catalog.

  • Backup failed (System Image) of network storage (NAS) - Error Codes 0 x 81000032 and 0x8078011D

    I recently got a new DELL workstation, and I'm trying to set up the automatic backup feature.  I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and our office uses a Synology NAS device as a file server.  The NAS device has 1.34 TB of total space, 1.3 TB of free space and is in NTFS format.  I have traced (persistent) several places on the NAS as readers on workstation.

    I tried to backup my workstation to the NAS (network location), but it didn't give me the error code 0 x 81000032.

    When I changed the backup settings so that the backup did not include an image of the system, the backup was properly executed.

    I tried to create a system image (link on the upper left of the control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Backup and restore screen).  The image has failed and gave me the error 0x8078011D code, informing me that the recording location was either: (1) not a reader fixed, (2) no NTFS, or (3) read-only.  I know that the save location is NTFS and is read/write; and as I mentioned earlier, it is a network location (a NAS device).

    I thought that maybe because I have traced other network locations NAS as readers on 'My Computer', that when it came time for the image of my system, the backup was trying to picture to all my readers, including the mapped locations of NAS.  If she did this, I thought that it may fail because there is not enough space on the NAS in order to imagine NAS locations mapped as well as my workstation.

    So, I unplugged my mapped drives (NAS locations) and tried to make a manual backup, including the image.  That did not work.  I also tried to create an image as shown above.  That did not work also.  Also, I went into services.msc and fact ensure that the shadow copy of Volume has been set to 'Automatic', started the service and restarted my computer.  Backups don't always work.

    My question is: How can I run a backup that includes a system image and store this backup and image on the NAS Server?  Remember, I want to be able to set the schedule and forget it with the backup occurs automatically when I do not use my work station.  Keep in mind that I can run a backup if the settings do not include the create a system image.

    -Update-

    Here's an idea: on my Dell workstation, I have a disk drive (d :)) (I think to be able to read emails without having to start the computer?) who is FAT 32...) This could be what is causing the problem... because the backup cannot create the image of a FAT 32 on a NTFS drive?  (I know that he cannot back up on a FAT 32 drive).  If so, can I change it by going to cmd (as an administrator) and type CONVERT D:/FS: NTFS?  Or is there a way I can exclude the drive D: (FAT 32) of the image?

    I would be grateful for any help.
