Deploying DS923+ for Work

[DrMacintosh]

Hello all, I'm setting up a DS923+ to store my jobs cold files. Mostly pictures, finished reports, excel docs, old invoices, etc. We can remotely access this data via Synology Drive/QuickConnect fairly well.

 

I also completely forgot that Active Backup for M365 exists which really takes this NAS to the next level for us. I'm waiting to start the first backup job until I've moved our cold storage files onto the NAS. We are trying to operate with less than 1TB in SharePoint to get our bill down since additional SharePoint Storage is like $0.20 per GB per month which is insane.

 

As a first time Synology and NAS user and the only extremely non-professional IT person at the company (we only have 8 people) I'm looking for any advice or common mistakes to avoid for this use case.

 

Also, I'm moving our data and configuring Active Backup for M365 at home since I have faster internet than our office and I currently don't have a car, so I'm wondering what kind of issues there may be from moving the NAS to a new network once I do get it in office, thanks!
