In this part of the video, the focus is on discussing how to back up data on a Synology NAS using Synology’s C2 backup service and comparing it to AWS Deep Glacier. It explains that Synology C2 allows for encrypted backups, ensuring data security in the event of a breach. The C2 integration is seamless, functioning like an off-site NAS with accessible features via a web browser, including file versioning. However, it is noted that users are somewhat confined to the Synology ecosystem. Two plans are highlighted: Plan 1 for home users with up to 1TB storage at competitive rates and Plan 2 for businesses, offering hourly backups, deduplication, and custom data retention. The importance of maintaining off-site backups for critical files is emphasized to safeguard against potential local NAS failures.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses the pros and cons of using Amazon Deep Glacier for data storage. They highlight that while Deep Glacier offers incredibly cheap long-term archival storage at about one dollar per terabyte per month, its access is slow, and using its API can be complex and costly, particularly when downloading files. The presenter suggests that for businesses with robust IT support, Glacier can be a suitable backup solution, but for more immediate, accessible data backups, services like Synology’s C2 Backup might be more appropriate. C2 Backup offers quicker, more straightforward access with free data downloads, making it more competitive for regular backups. They then proceed to demonstrate how to set up a backup to Synology C2 on a Synology NAS, starting with downloading Hyper Backup from the DSM Package Center and signing up for a free 30-day trial.
