Oh, cool! I was referring to SHR. I thought it was a proprietary format and didn't realize you could access it from non-Synology systems. I've updated the post:

  The Python script I use to back up my data with restic

I have a nightly restic backup from my main workstation to buckets on Backblaze and Wasabi. It backs up the few local folders I have on my workstation and all the files I care about on my NAS, which the workstation accesses over Samba. I've published my scripts on Github.[0]

I don't back up my Blu-Rays or DVDs, so I'm backing up <1 TB of data. The current backups are the original discs themselves, which I keep, but at this point, it would be hundreds of hours of work to re-rip them and thousands of hours of processing time to re-encode them, so I've been considering ways to back them up affordably. It's 11 TiB of data, so it's not easy to find a good host for it.

• httm

  98 1,199 9.9 Rust

  Interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS/btrfs/nilfs2 (and even actual Time Machine backups!)

Once you try it, you're never going back. Snapshots are made for things like system administration. Upgrade borked your system? Just rollback.

Want to use the last version of your firewall config? I wrote a utility you might like to try, httm[1], which allows you to restore from your snapshot-ed unique versions.

If you like ZFS, then trust me you have to have ZFS on root.

• juicefs

  JuiceFS is a distributed POSIX file system built on top of Redis and S3.

  

If you usually sync files between laptop/workstation and cloud instances, accessing your homelab NAS from the cloud is not easy. I introduce two options, one is headless dropbox, the other is JuiceFS, both you could mount on the Linux, macOS, and Windows, for a user's case https://twitter.com/dxhuang/status/1498232490380517376

Disclaimer, I'm co-founder of JuiceFS, it's an open-source cloud file system https://github.com/juicedata/juicefs
