I opened two tickets in the past as QSync Backup is simply unusable because:
- we can’t chose where versioning is stored,
- the app doesn’t allow us to manage how many version we keep
- the minimum retention period is 30 days
- we can’t select what gets versioned or not
- we can’t manually force a delete and cleanup of all versioning
all this make versioning blowing up system volume.
Note that I can’t use QSync Sync because my folders are already synced with a cloud drive service and it can’t be synced with 2 sources.
I still don’t understand why QNAP wants to decide for its users what needs to be versioned, how long it must be stored and where it is stored. Making it customizable is not complicated. Currently I have to rely on robocopy scripts to a mounted drive to performed backup, which is really sad.
So when are we going to get the below basic features to make QSync Backup usable:
- ability to disable versioning all together
- ability to enable/disable versioning on specific folders (not everything is necessary sensitive and require versioning)
- ability to chose where we store versioning
- have a built-in way to delete and clean-up the versions other than SSH on the QNAP and do an
rm -rf *of all versioning folder - ability to chose retention period freely
Thank you
